TIDA Chief Executive Taliya Minullina:
 
"China - is a giant. When they say "here we have a million hectares of growing pears, and here - one million hectares of apples" or "the province is home for 80 million people", you realize its scale... You can see a threat, but we see an opportunity, an opportunity to cooperation.
Taking into account the number of governors of Russian regions who participated in the events, our regions are waiting for Chinese investment. At the presentation of the "Days of Russian regions" regions praised its business environment. One year later, we will find out who could work effectively.
I think one of the main issues for China now is to ensure their country with food. Therefore, agriculture projects is a priority for China. The Chinese want to participate in infrastructure projects, they are not afraid of "long" money. For us, it is also interesting. We will work".
