According to the Ministry of the Russian Federation for the Far East Development, the Chinese partners have already submitted a feasibility study. Based on this document, a draft agreement between Russia and China is being prepared currently. According to this document, measures will be taken to ensure “seamless” transit of goods from Chinese provinces to the Russian ports of Primorsky Krai.
The document is expected to be signed within the framework of IV Eastern Economic Forum, which will be held in Vladivostok in mid-September.
Earlier, the RF Presidential Envoy in the Far Eastern Federal District, Yuri Trutnev, said that Russia and China had agreed to align their positions within 3 months. According to him, these transport corridors are beneficial for both Russian and Chinese parties. For Russia, they will allow using new transit opportunities, while for China, these corridors will open a quick exit to the ports.
