1. Background
In the context of increasingly complex international trade, China and Russia, as important trading partners, possess immense market potential and room for cooperation. To further promote economic exchanges and cooperation between China and Russia, Resure successfully organized a visit for a Russian delegation to China in November. This visit was an important step in responding to both nations’ efforts to enhance trade cooperation, aimed at strengthening communication and understanding between enterprises, expanding cooperation opportunities, and fostering mutual development in various fields.
This event provided Russian business representatives with a platform to gain in-depth insights into China’s food processing industry and its technological innovations, while also opening up new opportunities for Chinese enterprises to connect with the Russian market. Through visits to Chinese companies’ production lines, technological research and development, and management models, both sides engaged in in-depth discussions on future cooperation directions and models, injecting new vitality into Sino-Russian trade cooperation.
