The official delegation headed by the Deputy Mayor of Genoa, visited the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry on September 5, 2016. The aim of the visit was to identify ways of developing trade and economic relations between Genoa and Moscow.
The Vice-President of the MCCI, Mr. Suren Vardanyan, noted that Italians and Russians have historically enjoyed friendly relations. The President of «Confindustria Genova» Association of Industrialists of Genoa, Mr. Giuseppe Dzampini, described the principles of the business association, which includes about 1,000 companies and 55 000 employees. The Association operates on a territorial basis in four provinces. "Our goal is to help foreign companies to freely develop business in the Italian market. We are ready to provide such support for Russian enterprises ", - said Mr. Dzampini. Representatives of the Genoese delegation mentioned conducting an Environmental Forum in Italy in 2017.
Mr. Dzampini suggested for the MCCI to send lists of industries that may possibly be of interest to Italian investors. Genoa, in turn, is ready to attract investors in areas such as tourism, preventive treatment based on the study of the human genome, the agricultural sector, and logistics.
The parties have agreed on the formation of the Russian delegation for the business mission to Genoa.
