Chinese officials will leave for Russia tomorrow to discuss the detention earlier this month of more than 240 Chinese traders and the seizure of their goods after Moscow's largest wholesale market was raided and closed.
Vice-Minister of Commerce Gao Hucheng will head the delegation that will include officials from the provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Heilongjiang, according to a notice on the Ministry of Commerce website.
Moscow closed the Cherkizovsky market on June 29, citing health concerns and storage violations.
