Discussion on Potential Areas of Cooperation

At the meeting, both sides discussed their capacities, areas of operation, and strengths that could be combined in the chemical industry. Topics of interest included basic chemicals, fertilisers, tyre and tube products, batteries, materials, as well as high-tech and green technology products.

The two parties also discussed potential cooperation in research, product, and technology development, especially in fields where each side has strengths and needs.
