According to Oleg Kozhemyako, the Governor of Primorye, among the key areas of cooperation with China are the development of checkpoints, the expansion of cargo and passenger transportation, and improving the effectiveness of border control. This year, an updated Border checkpoint will be opened, which will be able to pass up to 1.3 thousand vehicles per day instead of the previous 400. During the reporting period, cargo traffic across the border increased by 14%.
The bulk of seaside exports to China are fish and seafood, forest products and environmentally friendly grains — they account for almost half of the supplies. Honey, ice cream, chocolate and meat products are also shipped to China. At the same time, over 500 thousand Chinese tourists visited Primorye last year.
The region is actively implementing joint projects with Chinese investors within the territories of advanced development and the free port of Vladivostok. In particular, the Legendagro company from the Beidahuang Group is creating a Russian-Chinese agropark in Sukhodol Bay, and the Longjiang Corporation is planning to build a metalwork plant.
