The workshop formed part of activities of the SCIC delegation during its visit to Russia from March 27-30, with the aim of promoting investment activities between the two countries.
In his opening remarks, SCIC General Director Lai Van Dao expressed his hope that the trip will help step up investment ties between Vietnamese and Russian businesses.

Anikiev Archom from the Russian Ministry of Economic Development introduced his country’s investment opportunities and climate, as well as preferential policies to attract foreign investors, including those from Vietnam – an important partner of Russia and a gateway for the country to access other Asia-Pacific nations.
On March 28, Dao and Riccardo Orcel, Deputy CEO of VTB Group signed a memorandum of understanding on information and experience exchanges between SCIC and the leading Russian bank.
Since its inception more than 10 years ago, SCIC has taken over State capital ownership in nearly 1,000 companies, totalling 8.72 trillion VND (392.4 million USD).-VNA
