Leaders of Nghe An province in central Vietnam recently met with Mr. Vladislav Valerievich Shapsha, Governor of Russia's Kaluga Region, and a delegation from the Russian Federation during their working visit to the locality.
Recognizing Kaluga as a modern industrial, scientific, and technological hub of the Russian Federation, Secretary of the Nghe An Party Committee Nguyen Khac Than expressed confidence that the meeting would open up new opportunities for the two localities' cooperation in the processing industry, component manufacturing, and high-tech sectors, as well as in education, training, and healthcare.
Regarding economic cooperation, export turnover from Nghe An to the Russian market reached $2.6 million in the first 10 months of 2025. Key export items include processed fruits and fruit juices, packaging, rice, and facing stones.
Although the export value remains modest, Nghe An officials assessed that the Russian market holds significant potential room for growth, particularly for deep-processed agricultural products and light industrial goods.
Governor Shapsha stated that Kaluga currently hosts three major industrial parks and numerous international-scale manufacturing plants. It is also home to a center for peaceful nuclear energy and a network of scientific research institutes, employing a large number of scientists in the fields of electronics and medicine.
The Governor affirmed that Kaluga is committed to accompanying foreign investors from the initial survey stage through to the commissioning of factories. The region has established a logistics center to support businesses in bringing products to international markets, with a specific focus on the Asian region.
