Greetings from the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation S.V. Congratulations to the organizers, participants and guests of the 2nd Russian-Thai Investment Forum (October 30, 2026) I warmly congratulate the organizers, participants and guests of the 2nd Russian-Thai Investment Forum. Relations between Russia and Thailand, the 130th anniversary of which will be celebrated in 2027, are built on a solid foundation of friendship, constructive cooperation and mutual trust. Your meeting, which is becoming a good tradition, will further reveal the potential of Russian-Thai economic cooperation. Today you will have to discuss a wide variety of topics. I am happy that the business agenda of the event is accompanied by a rich cultural program. It is clear that the Moscow Days, the festive ballet concert and the friendly hockey game held in the capital of Thailand will contribute to deepening the mutual understanding between our peoples. I am confident that this time the forum will be held in a constructive, friendly manner and its results will contribute to the implementation of investment projects and in general to the strengthening of the practical component of the multifaceted Russian-Thai partnership. I wish you a successful job and all the best. S. LAVROV.
