VLADIVOSTOK (Sputnik) — On Tuesday, the Chinese city of Changchun hosted a meeting of Russian and Chinese regional delegations.
"The sides agreed that agriculture was a promising field for cooperation. The sides are expected to discuss further details at the Russia-China forum for development of modern agriculture, which will start later in the day in the capital of Jilin province, Changchun," the administration said.
In May, Russian Agriculture Minister Alexander Tkachev proposed the establishment of a Russia-China business council focused on the agricultural sector to enhance bilateral cooperation in this field.
According to Tkachev, this format will enable closer ties to be forged between Russian and Chinese agricultural companies as well as allowing the full list of joint investment projects in agriculture to be determined, taking into account the interests of all parties involved.
