Russian-Chinese Construction Forum to be held as part of AmurExpo

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.

The Forum is being held with the support of the Russian Ministry for the 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.

AmurExpo is being organized by the Amur Region government, the Amur Region Investment Promotion Agency, and the Roscongress Foundation.

The Forum operators are the Roscongress Foundation and the Amur Region Territory Development Centre.
