The rich aroma of coffee brought visitors to a corner of the eighth China-Russia Expo exhibition area in northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, where Russian cream cakes are on display in the cake bar of the Alyonka Cafe.
“It is the first cafe that we opened on China’s mainland, where consumers are already familiar with the Alyonka chocolate brand,” said Evgeny Bazhov, general manager of United Confectionery (Uniconf) China subsidiary company, at the expo.
The expo’s activities are being held in Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang, from May 16 to 21.
Over 5,000 overseas buyers registered at the expo and representatives from 44 countries and regions participated in the expo. The exhibition area spans 388,000 square meters, showcasing more than 5,000 products in over 20 major categories from 10 sectors.
