From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The China-Russia Expo (Российско-Китайское ЭКСПO, Chinese: 中国-俄罗斯博览会) is a significant international economic and trade exhibition conducted in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China. The event, previously known as the China-Harbin International Economic and Trade Fair (HIETF), was rebranded as the China-Russia Expo in 2014.[1]

This transformation was facilitated by the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Commerce of China, the People's Government of Heilongjiang Province, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation. The expo is hosted by the Heilongjiang Provincial Bureau of Exhibition and Convention Affairs and the TDC of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, with a permanent secretariat office for the Chinese organizing committee established at the Heilongjiang Provincial Convention and Exhibition Bureau.[2] The inaugural and subsequent China-Russia Expositions took place in Harbin in 2014 and 2015, respectively, alongside the HIETF. Commencing in 2016, the China-Russia Expo will occur in Ekaterinburg, Russia, during odd-numbered years, alongside the HIETF, while in even-numbered years, the event will be transferred to Harbin, concurrently with the HIETF.[3][4]
History
In October 2013, during a routine meeting between the Prime Ministers of China and Russia, Li Keqiang and Dmitry Medvedev concurred to elevate the HIETF to the China-Russia Expo.[5][6]
On December 18, 2015, the twentieth regular meeting of the Prime Ministers of China and Russia determined that the third China-Russia Expo would take place from July 10 to 14, 2016, at the Yekaterinburg International Convention Center in Yekaterinburg, Russia, alongside the Yekaterinburg Industrial Innovation Exhibition. The current session of the "China-Russia Expo" has been organized alternately by Russia and China, with Harbin designated as the permanent rotating host city for the Chinese contingent.[3]
