🇱🇦 December 2 marks the 49th Anniversary of the proclamation of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.
The Lao People's Democratic Republic was proclaimed in 1975 following a long and intensive struggle, combined with political and diplomatic efforts to secure the country’s neutrality amidst foreign aggression in Indochina.
🤝 The Soviet Union and Laos established diplomatic relations on October 7, 1960. On March 9, 1994, Russia and Laos signed the Treaty on the Foundations of Friendly Relations. In October 2011, Russia and Laos adopted the Declaration on Strategic Partnership in the Asia Pacific Region.
Today, our countries are steadily expanding their trust-based dialogue and the high and highest levels, as well as enhancing interaction between parliaments and sectoral agencies. They are also intensifying trade, economic, cultural, humanitarian and interregional ties within the framework of the Russia-Laos strategic partnership.
🎉 We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our Lao friends on this holiday! We reaffirm our commitment to further strengthening our traditionally friendly relations and multifaceted partnership with Vientiane, in the interests of peace and stability in Southeast Asia and the entire Asia-Pacific region.

🗓 On November 26-27, Malaysia 🇲🇾 hosted an international business forum "World of Opportunities: Russia-ASEAN", organized by the Roscongress Foundation. Over two days, it gathered more than 350 representatives of political, business, and academic circles, media, and experts.
🔹️As part of the forum the #EAEU-#ASEAN Business Dialogue was held. The Eurasian Economic Commission (#EEC) was represented by the Minister for Integration and Macroeconomics Mr. Eldar Alisherov.
"Trade between the EAEU and ASEAN is demonstrating steady growth at double-digit rates, which indicates great potential for the development of a multisectoral dialogue between the two organizations. The business community is the key driver of this process."
"The key task facing the two organizations today is to create transparent and understandable conditions for interaction between the business communities of our countries."
"Entrepreneurs from the countries of the two organizations are actively helping in this, they identify existing limitations and barriers in practice, and also strive to find ways to overcome them. The greatest potential for cooperation between business communities is concentrated in the areas of digitalization, industrial cooperation, food security, transport and logistics, and financial policy."
EAEU — ASEAN trade turnover projected to exceed $30 billion by end of 2024
📊 For comparison, by early 2018, it amounted to approximately $20 billion. This was stated by Eldar Alisherov, Minister of Integration and Macroeconomics of the Eurasian Economic Commission, at the World of Opportunities: Russia – ASEAN business forum.
“For us, ASEAN is a strategic direction for cooperation. Everyone understands this perfectly. Platforms like today’s are precisely the result of this cooperation. This year, we have already held three full-scale business dialogues, including at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum,” Alisherov emphasized.
🎥 World of Opportunities: Russia — ASEAN business forum has started in Malaysia. It is the first large-scale event organized under the Roscongress International brand.

Key points:
💬 Since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1976, Russian-Philippine friendship has gone through a test of endurance, including changes in the domestic and international political and economic spheres following the collapse of the USSR.
💬 Amid the ongoing global transformation associated with the changing balance of power in the international arena, primarily due to the increasing role of the Global South and Eastern countries, the Philippines remains an important and promising partner of Russia in the Asia-Pacific region.
💬 We therefore appreciate the constructive attitude of the present administration, headed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, which demonstrates the continuity of the policy of maintaining friendly relations with our country.
💬 Recent years have seen an active development of interregional contacts. The city of Cebu maintains twinning relations with Vladimir, in 2022 an agreement on cooperation with Vladivostok was signed. In 2024 the province of Cebu concluded an agreement on cooperation in trade and economy, science and technology, and the humanitarian area with St. Petersburg. Moscow has cooperation programs in place with Manila and Cebu.
💬 Russia opposes the militarization of the region and the "creeping expansion" of NATO into Southeast Asia. Such narrow-bloc organizations as the Indo-Pacific Four (Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand), the AUKUS military alliance with a nuclear component (the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia) are fully involved in this scenario. We note attempts to pull other ASEAN countries into similar narrow-bloc entities, with the aim of forming new "trios" and "quartets".
💬 Russian-Philippine cooperation has great potential for further successful development and translation into mutually beneficial projects.
⚡The “World of Opportunities: Russia — ASEAN” International Business Forum program has been published. The central event will be the plenary session titled “Russia and ASEAN: Towards a New Stage of Trade and Economic Cooperation.”
🌎 The forum will bring together over 100 representatives from business and academic circles, media, as well as experts and public figures from various countries around the world.
“The ‘World of Opportunities: Russia — ASEAN’ Business Forum will serve as an important platform for discussions and extensive coverage of issues related to further strengthening trade and investment ties between Russia and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations in various fields. Particular focus will be given to cooperation in the areas of economy and finance, energy, transport, technology and innovation, as well as science and education, healthcare, and tourism,”
said Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the Russian President.
🗓 On November 21, Ambassador of Russia to ASEAN Mr. Evgeny Zagaynov 🇷🇺 and the Head of Office #UNOCHA Indonesia and ASEAN Liaison Office Ms. Thandie Mwape exchanged views on cooperation with the countries of the region in the sphere of disaster management.

🇷🇺 🇲🇾 World of Opportunities: Russia — ASEAN business forum results summed up
More than 350 representatives of political, business and academic circles, the media, as well as experts and public figures from 24 countries took part in its work.
“The forum has become one of the largest business events of its kind in the country and region in recent times and a unique platform for the development of trade relations between Russia and the countries of Southeast Asia. Its holding was a response to the increased interest of Russian business in ASEAN countries and, in particular, in Malaysia, and also consolidated the positive dynamics of strengthening Russia’s trade positions in Southeast Asia. I am sure that the forum will become an important platform for discussing and widely covering the issues of further strengthening trade and investment ties between Russia and ASEAN countries in various spheres,”
🇷🇺 🇲🇾 ASEAN today is one of most attractive regions in terms of trade, investment, and labor resources
“Accumulated investments in the Russian economy from the businesses of the association countries amount to about $3.5 billion at present, while Russian investments in Southeast Asia are around $11.5 billion. Undoubtedly, these figures will grow. One of the foundations for this is Malaysia's invitation to become a partner country of BRICS. Cross-platform connections will allow for the development of even more effective economic ties,”
“Interactions with Southeast Asian countries have always been and remain one of the foreign economic and foreign policy priorities for the Russian Federation. Further evidence of this is the extremely active and regular high-level contacts. This creates very comfortable conditions and an atmosphere for strengthening trade and economic ties. If we look at the statistics, by the end of last year, our trade turnover with ASEAN countries increased by 15% and reached the $22 billion mark. This year, the trend continues, with growth at plus 10% and already $17 billion in trade turnover. This is all accounted for in bilateral statistics,”
World of Opportunities: Russia — ASEAN business forum to address tourism issues
🗓 “The Intensification of Tourist Flows between Russia and ASEAN Countries: What Remains to be Done?” panel discussion will take place on 27 November. The session’s participants will discuss how to unlock the potential for cooperation in tourism and what new tourism destinations can Russia and ASEAN countries offer each other.
👉 2024 marks the anniversary of the strategic partnership between Russia and ASEAN. Investments in tourism can become one of the areas to strengthen this cooperation. According to Union Minister for Hotels and Tourism of Myanmar Thet Thet Khine, the tourism sector in South-East Asia has a huge potential and allows the people of the region to better understand each other’s culture and mentality.
“Improving logistic connectivity in the region and developing infrastructure should make it easier for goods and people to move across borders and increase tourist flows. Let me remind you that the visa-free regime introduced by Myanmar for Russian citizens in 2022 has been extended until 2025,”

🇷🇺🇱🇦 President of Russia Vladimir Putin and President of the Lao People's Democratic Republic Thongloun Sisoulith held a meeting on the sidelines of the XVI BRICS Summit in Kazan (October 24, 2024)
💬 President Vladimir Putin: Mr President, friends, Once again, I warmly welcome you all and would like to thank you, above all, for your participation in the #BRICS Summit.
We assume that our group is a prototype of multipolarity, a structure that consolidates the Global South and East.
I appreciate your comprehensive remarks. I have warm memories of our meeting in May, when you visited Moscow to participate in the celebrations marking the 79th Anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. We will be glad to see you in Moscow at the celebrations of the 80th Anniversary of Victory next year. #Victory80
🤝 Our relations are of a mutually beneficial nature and have already reached the level of strategic partnership. This March we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Treaty on Amity, and next year we will celebrate the 65th Anniversary of our diplomatic relations.
The absolute volumes of trade are still modest, but the trend is nevertheless very good, and it is increasing many times over.
We have close positions on most international issues. It is very important that the Lao chairmanship of the #ASEAN promotes its cooperation with Russia, and we are very grateful to you for that.
We are very pleased with your visit, Mr President, and I thank you once again.
