In his speech, Pepeliaev Group partner Yuri Vorobyev talked about disputes Chinese companies had encountered with Russian business partners. Yuri compared dispute resolution in the Russian state courts and in other arbitral tribunals, most notably the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Russian Federation Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He also explained how decisions of Chinese state courts and arbitral bodies can be enforced in Russia. 

The seminar that took place on 21 April in Beijing was organised by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation. Pan GuangLian, head of the Federation's department for international connections, and Konstantin Sidorenko, from the Trade Representation of the Russian Federation in the PRC, gave the opening address.
