02 Exchange and Cooperative Project with Russia

To raise the status of Busan, the origin and aim of the Eurasia Initiative, BFIC invited Rasoncontrans representatives,

belonging to a business entity of the Rajin-Hassan Project, and held a briefing session about the signing of an MOU and

the Rajin-Hassan Project for the improvement of economic exchanges in 2015. To activate economic exchanges between

Busan and the Russian Far-East, BFIC dispatched a Busan-Eurasia Cooperative team to the Russian Far-East (Hassan,

Vladivostok) and held the 5th Busan-Russian Far-East Economic Forum, attended by economists and public officials from

Busan and the Russian Far-East(Hassan, Vladivostok).

To help enhance career development and prospects for university students in Russia and to train the professional manpower

which will shape cooperative relations between Korea and Russia in the future, BFIC set up a Korea-Russia Cooperative

Intern Program and Russia New Cooperative Business Experts Training Course. Moreover, through a Busan-Vladivostok

student exchange and exchanges with Korean Russians in the Maritime Territory, BFIC has contributed to improving

friendship between the young in the two areas and to global manpower training there. At the end of the year, BFIC held a

Busan-Russia Friendship Night encouraging friendship and harmony between members of the Busan and Russian parties.
