At the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador Bui Dinh Dinh emphasized that this is the first time a province from Russia held a meeting to introduce its economic and investment potential at the Vietnamese Embassy in Moscow.

Earlier this year, in June, a Vietnamese delegation led by Ambassador Bui Dinh Dinh paid a working visit to Ryazan to expand their economic and trade relations.

Mr Dinh expressed hope that the event will provide Vietnamese relevant agencies and businesses with useful information, contributing to the development of strategic partnership between Russia and Vietnam, especially in the fields of economics, trade and investment.

A representative of the Ryazan authorities thanked the Vietnamese embassy for their active contribution to the successfully organization of the event and encouraged Vietnamese businesses to invest in Ryazan province.

The meeting was co-organized by the Ryazan province’s authorities, the Vietnamese Embassy and the Vietnam Entrepreurners Association in Russia.
