In his speech, Li Hui said that the agreement will make an important contribution to the cultural exchange and good-neighborly relations between the two countries.
During the signing ceremony, LeEco co-founder and vice chairman Liu Hong met with Herman Klimenko, IID chairman and Russian President Vladimir Putin's special adviser on Internet-related affairs.

The memorandum will provide an action framework for the promotion of Russian movies, TV dramas, animations and other video products in China and other markets. In addition to providing a globally accessible platform for the distribution of Russian content, LeEco will assist Russian partners in content localization such as translation, licensing and authorization in China and other countries.
India has played a key role in scripting LeEco’s global success story, with trend setting products and record-breaking sales. With the release of the Le 1s and Le Max earlier this year, followed by the launch of the first “Made for India” Superphone, Le 1s Eco, the company has successfully sold an astounding number of 500,000 Superphones in 100 days, making it a record of sorts for a new entrant in a fiercely competitive smartphone market in India.
