On 22 May 2026, Russian Minister of Transport Andrey Nikitin and his delegation visited Shenzhen Urban Transport Planning Center Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "SUTPC"). As Shenzhen is currently making comprehensive preparations for the 33rd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, with Russian President Vladimir Putin having confirmed his attendance, the visit of the Russian delegation brings further opportunities for cooperation in the lead‑up to this major event. SUTPC General Manager Li Muping, Assistant General Manager Qiu Jiandong, Ye Daojun of SUTPC Data, and Yang Hanzhe of SUTPC International attended the meeting. The two sides held in‑depth exchanges on cooperation in the low‑altitude economy, focusing on key topics including low‑altitude industry planning, airspace management platform development, cross‑border logistics, medical supplies delivery to remote areas, and joint standard‑setting.

During the meeting, SUTPC General Manager Li Muping presented the company's technological achievements and practical case studies in the low‑altitude economy, with a particular focus on the experience gained from the dual‑platform system of "Yi Wang Tong Fei" (Unified Airspace Management) and "Yi Wang Tong Guan" (Unified Airspace Supervision) in low‑altitude flight resource management. He noted that the low‑altitude economy has entered a "policy dividend window period" and that SUTPC is exporting proven governance paradigms to the world. The Russian delegation spoke highly of SUTPC's innovative capabilities.

Multiple consensuses were reached during the talks: to use SUTPC's dual‑platform system as a blueprint for adaptive re‑engineering in Russia, with consideration for inclusion in the federal‑level digital government strategy; to explore the feasibility of building regional low‑altitude transport networks and establishing a "low‑altitude economy demonstration zone"; and SUTPC's willingness to assist in sharing local standards and promoting mutual recognition of standards between China and Russia. The two sides also plan to establish a "Joint Low‑Altitude Economy Working Group".

The Russian delegation pointed out that the pressing needs of remote areas are forcing a reconfiguration of business models, and that it is necessary to move beyond a "city‑centric" mindset and leverage rigid demand to drive commercially viable closed‑loop operations. Since the first visit by a delegation from the Moscow Road Traffic Management Centre to SUTPC in May 2024, the two sides have maintained an ongoing technical dialogue in the field of intelligent transportation. This meeting was not merely a technical exchange, but also a strategic reflection on the development model of the low‑altitude economy.

The successful conclusion of this meeting marks a solid step forward in cooperation between SUTPC and relevant Russian authorities in the low‑altitude economy, and continues to contribute Chinese expertise and solutions to the global development of the low‑altitude economy. Both sides will continue to deepen their cooperation, jointly explore opportunities, and work together to create a bright future for the low‑altitude economy.
