Representatives of Vladimir Region are planning to take part in the 2nd Russia–Africa Summit and Economic Forum to be held in St. Petersburg in July 2023.

“Vladimir Region, like all of Russia, is always open to international cooperation. We see how fast the world is changing, so it is now important to have reliable partners in different parts of the globe. Our region has well-developed mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, chemical and glass industries, woodworking, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. Implementation of investment projects is a priority. We are also ready to cooperate in tourism, as the flow of tourists to Vladimir Region increases every year. We believe that economic partnership will become an important component in stabilizing the world,” noted Alexander Avdeev, Governor of Vladimir Region.

As part of developing comprehensive relations between Russia and Africa, Vladimir Region administration organized a business programme for the diplomatic corps of African countries in April 2022: Angola, Benin, Guinea, Kenya, Tanzania, Central African Republic, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and South Africa. Cooperation in education, tourism, agriculture, and cultural and humanitarian exchange was discussed during the visit. The delegations visited historical and cultural sites of the region, one of the industrial enterprises and an agricultural complex.
