We are only one month away from the most desirable business event of the year - Zauralye 2024 All-Russia Investment Sabantuy.

In total the forum was attended by representatives of 9 countries including Iran, Türkiye, India, Belarus, Kazakhstan. China is Bashkortostan's leading trade partner. As of the last year this country ranked first and reached the share of nearly a quarter of the entire commodity turnover of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Together with our colleagues from the PRC we are working on a range of promising projects. One of them is a fiber-cement factory with the total scope of investments around 5 billion rubles. We are convinced that Zauralye-2024 will become a perfect ground for discussing further mutual prospects, - said Margarita Bolycheva, the Minister of Foreign Economic Relations and Congress Activity of the Republic of Bashkortostan

One of the headliners of the forum will be Zang Boyang, the Head of the Russian Branch of LS Group. He emphasized the importance of Zauralye forum for development of a business dialogue between China and Russian regions.

We are glad to have the Republic of Bashkortostan as one of our key strategic partners. China is interested in enhancing cooperation with Russia in various areas. I am inviting you to participate in the forum and join shared international projects. Together we are going to keep up with the trend of developing partnership relations. - commented Zang Boyang.

China obviously expresses their interest in extending multi-faceted cooperation with Bashkortostan. The PRC delegation is planning on attending the forum having formed a substantial delegation.
