3rd Sino-Russian Economic Symposium Opens
The Third Sino-Russian Economic Symposium opened Thursday, with the aim of discussing ways to increase bilateral trade ties between the two countries.
During the eight-day gathering, sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, nearly 100 economists and experts from both countries will focus on the economic prospects of the two countries in the 21st century, economic globalization, economic reforms and Sino-Russian economic and trade cooperation.
Wang Luolin, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said the international political and economic structures as well as social and economic situations in both countries have undergone profound changes in the past 10 years. Therefore, it is meaningful to discuss how to deal with the changing situation as well as matters of common concern.
Dmitry Lvov, secretary of the Department of Economics of the Russian Academy of Science, said that he hopes similar symposiums could provide a venue for economists from both countries to exchange views.
The Russian participants will also visit the Capital Iron and Steel Complex, the Zhangjiang High-Tech Industrial Park and the Pudong New Area in Shanghai.
The previous two events were held in Moscow in 1988 and 1999 respectively.
