The Arctic is a unique region. It has recently attracted attention of the North Pacific countries. Its growing economy, transport, logistics and economic potential have formed a solid basis for the international cooperation. Scientists and experts from all over the world are studying the extensive natural potential of the ocean and seabed, as well as the possibility of using the route across the Arctic Ocean. In June 2019, during the visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Russia, both leaders of the countries, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, announced 2020 and 2021 as the Years of Chinese-Russian Innovation in Science and Technology with the main topic of Science and Innovation in Technology. Having friendly relationship and political support between the two countries, North-Eastern Federal University of Russia and Heilongjiang University of China had a fruitful exchange in the field of scientific studies. During these activities, good cooperation results have been achieved.
