Chinese northeast province of Hei Longjiang is striving to realize major shifts in its trade with Russia, said Yang Aiwu, Deputy Secretary-General of the People's government of Hei Longjiang here on Tuesday.

Speaking at a press conference of the 2010 Sino-Russian (Dong Ning) Fair for Mechanical and Electronic Products, Yang said the bilateral cooperation between the province and Russia will shift from trade-dominant to investment-dominant.

The previously commerce-featured bilateral trade will also diversify into trade of commerce, technologies and services, he said, which should expand from border areas into central cities.

Meanwhile Hei Longjiang province will try to build up port economy when realizing all-round, multi-layer trade cooperation with Russia, said Yang.

Trade volume of Hei Longjiang to Russia has long been accounted for one fifth or one fourth of the total bilateral trade volume between the two countries, said Yang.

Currently several large-scale collaborative projects are being or are to be implemented within the province, he added.

Specifically, the Sino-Russian oil pipeline project is expected to complete construction by the year-end, and both sides will try to launch the project of the river-crossing railway bridge in this year, said Yang.
