Russian authorities see the development of international transport corridors Primorye-1 and Primorye-2 through cooperation with the foreign partners, particularly with China Communications Construction Company Ltd. (СССС), Yury Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation - Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, told IAA PortNews at the final press conference of the VI Eastern Economic Forum.
According to Yury Trutnev, negotiations with the management of CCCC, one of the global leaders in designing and construction of transport infrastructure facilities, were held at the Forum and will continue in three months in Peking.
International transport corridors Primorye-1 and Primorye-2 run across the Free Port of Vladivostok and link China’s Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces with the seaports of the Primorsky Territory.
