The Russian–Thai Business Council (RTBC) and the Russian Export Center (REC, part of VEB.RF Group) have signed an agreement on the establishment and operation of the “Made in Russia” Russian National Pavilion in Thailand.
The agreement was signed on September 3 on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum 2026 by Ivan Demchenko, Chairman of RTBC, and Veronika Nikishina, Director General of REC.
RTBC was selected as the winner of the competitive selection process for operators of the “Made in Russia” national pavilions, conducted by REC in July.
As the operator of the national pavilion, RTBC will provide comprehensive support in promoting Russian food and industrial products and services in Thailand, including the organization of exhibitions, business meetings, and marketing activities aimed at attracting Thai buyers and business partners.
Trade between Russia and Thailand has been growing rapidly in recent years, but I am confident that these economic indicators can and should be increased significantly. The current level of trade does not yet reflect the scale and potential of our two countries, which are united by longstanding friendly relations.
The opening of a permanent pavilion for Russian national products in Thailand will bring trade and investment cooperation between our countries to a qualitatively new level. The pavilion will serve as an effective business platform for Russian exporters, offering a comprehensive range of tools to support their expansion into the Thai market — from providing a venue for negotiations and organizational and legal support to assistance with product certification and marketing”, noted Ivan Demchenko.
“The fact that an industry association established by a major industrial player has become the operator of the ‘Made in Russia’ national pavilion in Thailand provides Russian products with both an administrative presence and deep industry expertise across several segments. We expect that this synergy will help increase the number of contracts between Russian exporters and Thai partners during the term of the agreement, as well as build a sustainable portfolio of orders across Southeast Asia,” said Veronika Nikishina
