The Province of Heilongjiang plays the key role in promoting a broad strategic partnership in the business of coordination, development of the Russian Far East and the North Eastern Province of Heilongjiang, and the development of trade with the close to border region of Inner Mongolia, and creating favorable opportunities for the national strategy, actively turning “the economic belt of the Silk Road of the Eastern Sea” (at the present moment known as “The Silk Road of East”) in the National Plan. Though the structure of trade with Russia is still unsubstantiated, and the cooperation with Russia has reduced, certain success has been achieved in the construction of transborder infrastructural corridors, in the trade of agricultural and auxiliary products, electronic commerce and in the agricultural cooperation with Russia.
