Rail drives growth of Chinese forestry products in Russia

A Chinese company has invested $960 million in setting up a zone in Russia to manufacture and trade in wood products.

The move will further boost bilateral trade and is another example of how the Belt and Road Initiative can bring businesses and countries together.

Located in Asino city, the China-Russia Tomsk State Wood Industry and Trade Cooperation Zone covers 24,000 square kilometers of forest reserves, according to the company.
