On May 15th, the first China-Russia Electronic Cigarette Industry Exchange Conference was held in Moscow. During the conference, Xu Minghao, the Vice President of 2FIRSTS in Russia, was appointed as the Assistant Chairman of the Russian Association of Electronic Cigarette Manufacturers and Importers. Witnessed by business leaders and industry experts from both China and Russia, the association's chairman, Sergei Katasanov, presented Xu Minghao with the appointment letter.
The Russian Association of E-cigarette Manufacturers and Importers was founded in February 2023 as an independent industry organization for Russian e-cigarette producers and traders. Its aim is to support the regulation of e-cigarettes in Russia and promote compliant business practices in the industry by promoting collaboration among related companies.

Sergey Katasov highly praised the efforts of the 2FIRSTS Russian regional team and Xu Minghao himself in the process of legal and regulatory compliance in the electronic cigarette industry in Russia. He expressed his hope that the addition of Xu Minghao would further deepen communication and collaboration between the electronic cigarette industry in Russia and the Chinese supply chain, and continuously promote cooperation and exchange between enterprises at higher levels.
