The 2nd Russian-Chinese Construction Forum and Exhibition of
Construction Achievements will take place on 24–25 May 2025 at the AmurExpo
Russian-Chinese Economic Forum in Blagoveshchensk, Russia. The AmurExpo is an
offsite venue for the Eastern Economic Forum, which will be held on 3–6
September in Vladivostok. The EEF is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.
“Holding such events provides professionals from the
Amur Region with an opportunity to exchange experience with representatives of
public associations and business communities from the regions and participating
countries, as well as discuss business integration issues and how to build new
logistics chains in the industry with their colleagues. The Forum participants
will address issues concerning state construction policy and discuss the
measures needed for the high-quality and rapid development of the Far East,
including interaction mechanisms and methods to create attractive territories
for integrated development,” Deputy Chairman of the Amur Region Government Pavel
Matyukhin said.
The Forum participants will attend the official opening of AmurExpo 2025
and the strategic session ‘Integrated Development of Territories:
Infrastructure and Construction of the Future’, where experts and speakers will
discuss the digitalization of the industry, the development of smart cities,
best international practices in construction, and the integrated development of
territories. In addition, the regional agenda will include the seminar ‘Establishment
of Urban Development Systems of Russia and China’. Cadets from the
Muravyov-Amursky programme plan to hold a roundtable titled ‘Modern Challenges
and Prospects for Cooperation in Training Personnel in the Construction
Industry’.
The Forum guests will also have a chance to view the exhibition of
achievements in construction and industry, where construction companies from Russia
and China will present their successes.
“The integrated development of territories is one of
the priorities for the Far East. To this end, interregional cooperation and
exchanging experience at the forum platforms of the Far Eastern Federal
District are of paramount importance. Key approaches to solving issues that affect
all regions of the federal district are traditionally hammered out there. The
Eastern Economic Forum is a gathering point for the most successful practices,
ideas, and proposals, where practical tools for the development of the
macro-region are created and improved. I am confident that the results of the
discussions at AmurExpo could be reflected in the programme of the EEF 2025,
which will be held in Vladivostok on 3–6 September,” First
Deputy CEO of the Roscongress Foundation and Director of the Eastern Economic
Forum Igor Pavlov said.
The Russian Centre for National Construction Policy, the organizer of
the Russian-Chinese Construction Forum, signed a cooperation agreement at the
AmurExpo 2024 in Blagoveshchensk. The first Forum was held in April 2024 in
Harbin, China (Heilongjiang Province). The Forum brought together more than
10,000 participants, including representatives of business, science, and
government from both countries, and primarily focused on the introduction of
digital technologies in construction, smart design systems, as well as
construction technologies for work in emergency situations.
“The second Russian-Chinese Construction Forum is a
logical continuation of the policy of strengthening cooperation that began last
year. The first Forum clearly demonstrated the vast potential of and mutual
interest in developing a partnership in the construction industry. We saw there
is demand for such platforms for a direct dialogue, exchange of experience, and
discussion of key issues. The interest of business entities from both countries
confirms the prospects for implementing joint projects. I firmly believe that
the second Forum will be an important step in strengthening long-term and
mutually beneficial relations between Russia and China in the construction
sector. We are counting on the active participation of all interested parties
and invite them to engage in a constructive dialogue at the Forum,” Russian
Centre for National Construction Policy Director Alexander Moor said.
AmurExpo will take place on 22–25 May. The first day, 22 May, will be
devoted to the regional agenda. The business programme architecture has been posted on the
event’s website.

Development of the Far East and Arctic, the Russian Ministry of Economic
Development, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Russian Ministry of
Agriculture, and other federal institutions.
