The Russia–Thailand Business Dialogue was held for the first time at SPIEF 2025
For the first time in the history of the SPIEF, a separate dialogue between Russia and Thailand took place on June 18, a key milestone in the development of 128–year-old bilateral relations.
The agenda includes industrial and investment partnership, logistics, tourism and preparations for the Russian-Thai Investment Forum, which will be held in Phuket in November 2025.
Special attention was paid to the humanitarian sphere, tourism, creative economy and cooperation within the framework of BRICS.
Representatives of government agencies and businesses from the two countries took part in the dialogue, including Alexey Chekunkov (Minister of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic), Umesh Pandey (Trade Representative to the Cabinet of Ministers of Thailand), Kriengkrai Thiennukun (Chairman of the Federation of Industry of Thailand), Sergey Cheremin (Minister of the Government of Moscow), and others.
The business dialogue has become a new starting point and has set the course for sustainable partnerships and joint projects.
