2026-03-18
According to the Chief Executive of Primorsky Krai in Russia, Koremayako, China is a reliable and stable partner, and Primorsky Krai is willing to deepen cooperation with China in areas such as equipment manufacturing, deep processing of agricultural products, and biomedicine. Primorsky Krai borders Asia Pacific countries, with its capital Vladivostok serving as the political, economic, and cultural center of the Russian Far East. Koremayako said that Primorsky Krai is a strategic hub in the Russian Far East, where numerous highways, railways, and air routes intersect. It has five ice free ports and advantageous industries such as logistics transportation, shipbuilding, and seafood processing. The large ice class liquefied gas transport ship "Alexei Kosygin" independently built by the Red Star Shipyard in the Primorsky Krai has completed its maiden voyage, crossing the Arctic Channel and arriving in Murmansk. In recent years, Russia has actively promoted its "pivot to the east" strategy and developed cooperation with countries in the Asia Pacific region and even the global South. Koremayako said that the economic development of Asia Pacific countries is more stable than that of Western countries, with enormous potential. Russia regards integration with Asia Pacific countries as a priority. Primorsky Krai is at the forefront of Russia's "eastward shift" and will maximize its potential to further integrate with the economies of neighboring Asia Pacific countries. Keremako emphasized the importance of cooperation with China. He said that the Primorsky Krai is connected to China through multiple border ports, with over 50 flights per week. Russia is currently renovating the Russia China border ports to enhance their transportation capacity. The Chinese side has successfully implemented projects in agricultural planting, engineering construction and other fields in the coastal border area, and the high-quality work has left a deep impression on people. On January 1st of this year, the international advanced development zone system was officially launched in the Russian Far East region, providing extensive preferential conditions for foreign investors. Koremayako said that he expects Chinese investors to use the international advanced development zone system to invest in fields such as ship construction and maintenance, building materials production, biomedicine, and biotechnology. "We always welcome Chinese investors to bring advanced technology, establish production and manufacturing bases in Primorsky Krai, and sell them in Russia and other countries. Regarding the planned Sino Russian agricultural cooperation pilot demonstration zone, Keremayako said that the demonstration zone is located in Sukhodor Port in the Primorsky Krai, and will use modern technology to deeply process agricultural raw materials in the Primorsky Krai to enhance product added value. The Primorsky Krai government fully supports the construction of the demonstration zone project. Koremayako also specifically mentioned that the people of Primorsky Krai are warm and friendly, and have a natural sense of familiarity with China. Many people fly to Beijing or other Chinese cities for leisure and entertainment on weekends. He also suggested that Chinese tourists should try cultural tourism while enjoying natural scenery, and hoped that Russia and China could cooperate to develop technology so that Chinese tourists can book tickets and seats for cultural venues such as Russian theaters, museums, and art galleries on Chinese online platforms. Koremayako said that China has highly developed domestic production and consumption, demonstrating a sustainable economic development trend. China has utilized information technology and artificial intelligence to create effective networks and digital platforms, which are not only conducive to communication and exchange between people, but also to the implementation of national policies. This is worth learning from for Russia. (New Society)
