The parties join hands in construction engineering, technological, financial and innovative activities
FESCO Transportation Group says it is set to develop strategic partnership in trans-border intermodal transportation with Heilongjiang Transportation Investment Group Co., Ltd. Xinjiang Energy Resources and China National Chemical Construction Group.
A quadripartite agreement has been signed by Andrey Severilov, Chairman of FESCO BoD with the heads of the groups in Peking during the business visit of FESCO delegation to China.
According to the document, the parties are going to facilitate the development of intermodal transportation between China and Russia and to join hands in construction engineering, technological, financial and innovative activities.
“FESCO is permanently expanding cooperation with Chinese companies, since China has historically been a crucial market for our group and a strategic trading partner for Russia. I am sure the agreement signed today will contribute to the development of new logistics routes and will facilitate the growth of trade between our countries,” said Andrey Severilov.
During the visit to China, Andrey Severilov also discussed practical steps towards further expansion of intermodal, seaborne and railway services between the countries with representatives of Sinotrans, one of the world’s largest transport and logistics groups.
