VNIRO and China - in the same direction

As part of a working visit to China, a delegation from the Russian State Research Center of Fisheries and Oceanography (VNIRO), including Evgeny Darinov, Deputy Director and Head of the Tyumen Branch; Arsen Mirzoyan, Deputy Director and Head of the Azov-Black Sea Branch; Alexey Gaidukov, Director of the Russian-Chinese Cooperation Center; and Manuchar Sharii, Head of the Department of the Innovative Scientific and Technological Park for the Fisheries Industry, visited the Zhejiang Provincial Marine Resources Development Institute (PRC).
 
During the visit, Russian specialists held business talks with the leadership of the Zhejiang Provincial Marine Resources Development Institute. The hosts toured the VNIRO delegation's production facilities and presented their product line, including functional foods and environmentally friendly fertilizers.
 
A key highlight of the negotiations was Manuchar Sharia's presentation of VNIRO products and technologies, during which the parties discussed the possibility of conducting additional research on Russian products for adaptation and introduction to the Chinese market.
 
A key outcome of the visit was the Chinese side's proposal to review a draft Strategic Cooperation Agreement. The document outlines promising areas for joint work.
 
As a key platform for cooperation, the Chinese partners proposed the establishment of a Russian-Chinese International Joint Laboratory for the Development and Protection of Marine Resources in Zhoushan.
 
The consideration of this agreement marks a new stage in the strategic partnership between Russia and China, aimed at deep processing, innovation, and joint entry into new markets.
