"We have honey and crabs, and China — drones and robots" — Trutnev was upset in Harbin

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Presidential Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev said he was upset that the Russian side presented "only honey and crabs" at the Harbin Expo, and the Chinese side presented drones and robots.

"We must continue to exchange technologies [between the Russian Federation and China], because technology creates opportunities for the development of countries in the modern world," said the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation during a press conference on the sidelines of the X Russian—Chinese Expo in Harbin.,

Assessing the large-scale exposition of the exhibition, Trutnev called it balanced, although he admitted that his first impressions of the inspection of the stands were mixed.

"I honestly want to admit that when we went along it and I saw that we only had honey and crabs, and our friends [from China presented] drones and robots, I was a little upset," he said, quoted by TASS.

However, according to the plenipotentiary, in the course of further familiarization with the pavilions, he was convinced of the high level of the presented domestic developments.

"The exhibition is quite balanced, there are also our equipment, our helicopters, our technological achievements," Trutnev summed up.
