The first ‪#‎China‬-‪#‎Russia‬ Exposition, focusing on expanding ‪#‎economic‬ and ‪#‎trade‬ cooperation between the two countries, opened on Sunday in Harbin, capital of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.

During the opening ceremony on Sunday evening, Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang said that China has organized many famous ‪#‎expositions‬ and trade ‪#‎fairs‬, but it is the first time for it to co-host a national level exposition with another country.
It is a direct reflection of the high-level political mutual trust and economic integration between the two countries, he said.
The exposition covers an area of about 86,000 square meters, and a total of 1,597 enterprises from different countries will join the event.

The expo, scheduled to last from Monday to Friday, is jointly held by China’s Ministry of Commerce, Heilongjiang provincial government and the Russian ministries of economic development and industry and trade.

CCTVNews reporter Guan Yang was at the event, and from the looks of it, it was quite a spectacle.
