China's pharmaceutical industry has successfully transformed from a technology-replicating industry to an innovation-driven economy, now competing on equal footing with the world's leading economies.

It has also shifted the focus toward the benefits of introducing innovative drugs, expanded regional support for innovation, and encouraged the export of these innovations to international markets, as evidenced by the increasing number of delegations. The Russian pharmaceutical industry is undergoing a similar evolutionary process, accelerated by both the shock of the pandemic and the prevailing external economic conditions, which are pushing Russian businesses toward greater cooperation with BRICS countries, particularly China.
