In his speech on cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Crimea, Alexey Vyalkin noted that immediately after Crimea's return to the Russian Federation, EXPOCENTRE AO provided all possible assistance to revitalise the region's economy.

In particular, in May 2014, the All-Russian Trade Show of Resort and Tourist Services of the Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol was organised in Moscow, in which more than 200 Crimean resorts, boarding houses, hotels, recreation centres and health complexes took part.

Since 2014 EXPOCENTRE AO has attracted more than 150 Crimean companies to participate in its own industry exhibitions (Prodexpo, Agroprodmash, Mir Detstva, CJF- Child and Junior Fashion, MedTravelExpo, Healthy Lifestyle, etc.), which introduced professional visitors to their products on a total area of over 3,000 sq. m.

At the end of his speech, Alexey Vyalkin put forward a number of proposals for cooperation between the RUEF and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Republic of Crimea to enhance the exhibition and congress activities in Crimea and to encourage more companies to take part in exhibitions in other regions of Russia.
