From July 5 to July 11, the Quang Ninh provincial delegation, led by Mr. Nguyen Chi Thanh, Member of the Standing Committee of the Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee and Standing Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Quang Ninh Province, paid a working visit to the Russian Federation.
Joining the delegation were leaders of the Quang Ninh Investment, Trade and Tourism Promotion Agency, the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Office of the Quang Ninh Provincial People’s Committee, the Department of Industry and Trade and other relevant agencies.
On the first working day in the Russian Federation, July 6, the Quang Ninh delegation met with the Ural Region Tourism Association, one of the three largest tourism associations in Russia. The association brings together airlines, travel agencies, tourism service providers, and logistics companies.
During the working session, both sides agreed to strengthen cooperation to boost tourism development and increase tourist exchanges between Quang Ninh and the Ural region. They also agreed to organize Famtrip and Presstrip delegations, as well as invite Russian KOLs to Quang Ninh to survey tourism services, routes, and destinations. These activities will help promote Quang Ninh’s tourism image and support the development of new tourism products and tour packages tailored to the preferences of Russian visitors.
In addition, Quang Ninh Province will continue promoting its potential, competitive advantages, investment environment, and preferential investment policies in its economic zones and industrial parks to the business community and investors in the Ural region, thereby expanding opportunities for investment cooperation between the two sides.
In particular, Quang Ninh proposed working with the Ural Region Tourism Association to launch charter flights connecting Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk Region) and Van Don International Airport at the earliest opportunity. If implemented, the route will become an important catalyst for increasing tourist exchanges, strengthening trade connectivity, and expanding economic cooperation between Quang Ninh and localities in the Russian Federation in the years ahead.
Upon arriving in Ekaterinburg, the Quang Ninh delegation attended INNOPROM 2026, the International Industrial Exhibition, including the opening ceremony featuring an address by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
INNOPROM 2026 is the Russian Federation’s largest trade and export exhibition, held from July 6 to 9 at the Yekaterinburg-EXPO International Exhibition Centre. The event brings together hundreds of companies from around the world to showcase advanced technologies, machinery, and industrial solutions, while providing opportunities for businesses to connect, establish partnerships, and explore international investment opportunities.
At the exhibition, Quang Ninh Province set up an exhibition booth to present its strengths, competitive advantages, investment environment, and socio-economic development strategies. The booth attracted considerable attention from Russian businesses, partners, and investors, providing a valuable platform to promote the province’s image, foster business connections, and identify new investment opportunities.
By participating in one of the world’s largest industrial and technology forums, Quang Ninh demonstrated its commitment to international investment promotion while expanding opportunities to attract investment, access advanced technologies, and build strategic partnerships with Russian partners in the future.
