On the afternoon of April 28th, Mr. Zhang Zongwu, Secretary General of our foundation, was invited to the Embassy of the Russian Federation, and received warm reception from Mr. Lev Eremeykin, the second secretary of the embassy. Both sides had a pleasant conversation.
The Secretary General first expressed his thanks to the warm reception and highly cherished the traditional friendship with the Russian Embassy. He stressed that Sino-Russia friendship had a long history. As Russia is one of the most important countries along the Silk Road, there is a large potential for bilateral economic and trade cooperation. Our foundation has established the One Belt and One Road Fund Management Committee in March this year, which will support China's pragmatic cooperation with counties along the route. We look forward to working with Russian embassy in various fields and creating favorable conditions for exchanges between Chinese and Russian enterprises.
Mr. Lev warmly welcomed our visit and appreciated our contributions in promoting international trade exchanges. He mentioned that Russia's economic and trade interactions with China had been increasing and achieved fruitful results. Russia had a large number of industrial parks, in which the Russian government provided preferential policies, they welcomed the Chinese enterprises in various fields to invest in Russia.
