Fairs and exhibitions provide an opportunity to establish profitable contacts and promote mutual understanding among different nations. The first world industrial exhibition was held in London in 1851. It was a great success. It displayed exhibits of 40 participating nations and the number of visitors reached over six million. Since then world industrial expositions have had a colourful history. They have changed not only in size and scope, but also in character and overall purpose. Such events provided opportunities for exchanging scientific, technological and cultural achievements of the people of Europe, America, Australia, Asia and, Africa.

Beginning with the early 60s, international expositions began to take new forms, trying to emphasize not only technological progress, but also other aspects of life. They became festivals of industry and culture.

Every year the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry plays host to many foreign business representatives who come to Moscow. It is continually expanding its cooperation with similar organizations all over the world. Cooperation with firms in Britan, France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Japan is growing from year to year.

The Chamber holds international, specialized, national and single - industry exhibitions and displays and sponsors congresses and symposiums. The first international exhibition in our country was held in Moscow in 1964.Popular exhibition locations in Moscow include Sokolniky Park, International Trade Centre, AH - Russian Exhibition Centre (former VDNKH) and etc.

All - Russian Exhibition centre lies within 20 minute's drive from the centre and completely self - contained, with its own police and transport. It was born in 1939. Now up more than 350 000 people visit it every year. The authorities of the Exhibition are thinking of expanding the exhibition areas for providing better conditions and display for maintaining the Exhibition. A joint venture with Italian companies is opening a five-star hotel for 500 guests, residential building, and most important, a research and laboratory complex. A project is being discussed with Japanese companies about laying out an ecological park and under way with Canadian companies about building a commercial super complex with wholesale commodity exchange, halls and restaurants.

Today Moscow is a regular meeting place of traders from different countries. The trade partners participating for many years in the international exhibitions which are held in Moscow and other cities of Russia appreciate the amicable atmosphere and business-like spirit of the commercial negotiations at these events.
