Machinery manufacturing fair boosts Sino-Russian ties

Chinese-Russian trade in the machinery manufacturing industry remains strong, and more Chinese machinofacture companies are seeking to expand into Russia amid the supportive policy environment fostered by both governments, a Chinese embassy official said on Tuesday.

Li Jingyuan, a minister-counselor at the Chinese embassy in Russia, said the two countries' closer cooperation in machinofacture has become a new economic growth driver. He made the comments during the opening ceremony of the second China Machinery Fair in Russia.

The three-day exhibition which began on Tuesday in Moscow was co-organized by the local governments of Wenzhou and Taizhou in Zhejiang province, and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.
