On the sidelines

Territory brand and increasing its investment, convention, exhibition and

Territory Government, and Alexander Stuglev, CEO of the Roscongress Foundation.
“First time, the
parties came to an arrangement to sign an agreement between the Roscongress
Foundation and Khabarovsk Territory at the ‘Open the Far East’ Forum in
Khabarovsk, which was held with the support of the Foundation and the Russian
Tourism Forum ‘Travel!’ in August 2023.
In order to effectively and comprehensively promote the region’s opportunities,
promote interregional tourism and attract foreign tourists, further mutual
integration of tourism-related convention and exhibition events is necessary,”

potential of Khabarovsk Territory in the domestic and international markets.
“The Foundation is the largest organizer of convention, exhibition and public
events in the investment and foreign trade spheres and implements projects
aimed at strengthening the national interests of the Russian Federation. I am
confident that joint work based on the experience and professional competences
of the participants of the agreement will contribute to the formation of
conditions for mutually beneficial cooperation between business circles of
Russia and foreign countries, increase the brand recognition of Khabarovsk Territory
both inside and outside the country,” said Mikhail Degtyarev.
