The four-day exhibition on Russian high technologies closed Thursday in Shenyang, a leading industrial base in northeast China.

The exhibition saw the signing of 175 projects with a total value of about 100 million U.S. dollars, including 99 on technological cooperation, 30 on China's exports to Russia, 41 on imports of Russian technological products and five on personnel training, according to incomplete statistics.

Over 500 Russian delegates attended the exhibition, which received over 40,000 visitors across China.

Going in parallel with the exhibition was a Sino-Russian cooperation forum, trade talks, an exhibition of traditional and modern Russian paintings and a Russian food festival.

To the Chinese and Russians, the exhibition has highlighted friendship and cooperation between them. "It's like a gathering of some old friends," said a writer in Shenyang.

"I hear Russian wherever I go in the exhibition hall," said a retired engineer, who gave her name as Shen, "It reminds me of the 1950s, when I used to work with some Russian experts in Shenyang."

Days before the exhibition, major streets in Shenyang had been decorated with flags of the two countries and welcoming posters in Chinese and Russia. Famous Russian music, which are known to many Chinese, too, were constantly heard at night, from bars along major streets.

"I feel I were in a bordering city," said a reporter, who was on his first visit to Shenyang.

The exhibition, the first ever organized by the Russian government in China, was a grand demonstration of Russia's state- of-the-art technology in a wide range of sectors including machinery, space and aeronautics, electronics, information, energy- saving industries, light industries and environmental protection.
