Time: 14:30 –16:30
Organizer: Ministry of the Regional Development of the Russian Federation
Venue: Baikal Business Centre
Topic for Discussion:
Mechanisms of support of and financing priority investment projects of Russian-Chinese cooperation
Discussion Idea:
The Ministry of Regional Development of the Russian Federation is responsible for coordinating the implementation of the Russia and China Cross Border Cooperation Programme that was approved by the Heads of the States in October, 2009. In particular, it is support for investment projects that are included in the list of key projects of the Programme.
Together with the subjects of the Russian Federation, the Ministry carried out activity on the structuring and selection of priority investment projects, and working out recommendations on financing and implementation of the investment projects. The Ministry of Regional Development recruits the community of experts, including members of the Advisory Council on the regional investment policy at the Ministry of Regional Development of Russia.
The proposals on elaboration of mechanisms to support and finance priority projects of the Programme were discussed at the meeting of the Heads of establishments that are responsible for implementation of Cross Border Cooperation Programme (Ministry of Regional Development of Russia and State Committee of China National Development and Reform) in June 2009. The agreement was reached to discuss this topic at the next conference on cross-border co-operation with experts of the banking sector.
At the meeting, the Chinese part proposed to establish a joint investment fund to promote cooperation between regions of the Far East, Eastern Siberia of the Russian Federation and the North-East China in order to attract additional investments in projects that are included in the list of the key projects of the Programme of Cross Border Cooperation.
Conference organizers believe that presentation of the experience of investors and banks in financing investment projects, including with foreign participation, can be useful and effective. The constructive dialogue between representatives of Russian and Chinese authorities and business circles will be conducted within the framework of the Conference. Discussion of mechanisms of interaction in the sphere of finance is an important step in the implementation of joint Russian-Chinese projects.
