"In Japan, we build waste incineration plants ourselves. But, in China, for example, we have a joint venture, Anhui Conch Kawasaki Energy Conservation Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. They specialize, among other things, in producing waste incineration equipment," Murayama told journalists, answering the question whether the Japanese company was ready to help with building waste processing plants in the Moscow suburbs.
He noted that Russia had not made such a request yet, but added that if there were such demand, the project would be carried out by a joint venture with China's Anhui Conch Cement Company, operating abroad.
Murayama also told journalists that Kawasaki was interested in enhancing its supplies of gas turbines to Russia.
"We have sold several gas turbines to [Russia's] Far East, and we are planning to open a service center in the same region. But in the medium-term perspective we would like Russia to use our gas turbines more actively," Murayama said.
Murayama noted that the Japanese businessman easily got along with their Russian cohorts, noting the important role that INNOPROM, where an unprecedented number of Japanese companies was represented, would play in the further development of bilateral cooperation.
INNOPROM is an international industrial exhibition held annually in Yekaterinburg since 2010. In 2017, the Russian city is hosting the international event for the eighth time, on July 10-13. This year Japan has become a partner country of the exhibition with more than 95 delegations attending it, according to the organizers.
Earlier in the day, Minister of the Japanese Embassy in Russia Hiroshi Tajima told Sputnik that the exhibition had significantly contributed to enhancing bilateral economic ties.
