Heilongjiang Province also signed 260 economic and technological cooperation projects for investment of 68 billion yuan (11 billion U.S.dollars).
The expo opened on Sunday in Harbin, Heilongjiang's provincial capital and attracted more than 11,000 foreign businesspeople from 67 countries or regions, including nearly 5,000 from Russia.
