A delegation from Hegang (the Heilongjiang province in north of China) has arrived in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk on Tuesday to discuss prospects for broad cooperation with Sakhalin. Hegang Vice-mayor Xue Zhuxin is heading the Chinese delegation that includes ten representatives from different branches of the Hegang industrial sector and trade and investment companies, the Sakhalin regional Committee for international, foreign economic and inter-regional contacts reported Tuesday. The Chinese delegation will stay in Sakhalin until May 31. At present, the Sinopec oil company and the Xinzhou construction companies have been successfully working in Sakhalin. The Sinopec jointly with the Russian Rosneft has been developing the Sakhalin-3 oil shelf project. In 2006 the Chinese oil-prospecting platform Kangtang-3 found perspective oil reserves on the shelf in the Sea of Okhotsk near the Sakhalin coast. The Xinzhou company built a five-storied trade center in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk that Chinese company will run since July, 2007. The company is also planning to build a residential complex in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. In 2006, a protocol to this effect was signed by Xinzhou President Fu Tanchun and Sakhalin regional governor Ivan Malakhov. The population of Hegang is 1.2 million, and the Sakhalin region – the would be Hegang partner, has a population of around 500,000.
