INTERACTION WITH RUSSIAN DELEGATION - MR. MAMED AKHMEDOV

On Friday, 14th November 2025, our VCCI Vice President Mr. K V Krishna Kumar, Secretary Mr. P. Rajesh, Past President Mr. K Mallikharjuna Rao and members of the executive committee held a meeting with Mr. Mamed Akhmedov. He was part of the Russian delegation who had travelled to Visakhapatnam for the CII Partnership Summit 2025. During the interaction several important points were discussed. Members proposed that the Russian Export Center (REC) could organize a meeting or seminar in Visakhapatnam, on a mutually convenient date, to explain export–import opportunities with Russia, noting that VCCI has the capacity to mobilize members for such an event. Members also requested support for arranging a business delegation visit to Russia in 2026, which received a positive response from Mr. Mamed. He immediately invited all VCCI members to participate in Made in Russia Expo scheduled to be hosted in Moscow in October 2026. Our senior members' acumen and hospitality impressed Mr. Mamed, which led him to willing extend cooperation for fostering ties between VCCI and his office.
