The Volgograd Region is a region in Russia in the south-east of the East European Plain, and a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Its administrative centre is the Hero City of Volgograd. The Volgograd Region borders the Saratov, Rostov, Astrakhan and Voronezh Regions, the Republic of Kalmykia and Kazakhstan (West Kazakhstan Region). It is part of the Russian Federation’s Southern Federal District.

The Volgograd Region is one of Russia’s most economically developed regions and has a balanced economic structure. Its diversified agriculture is coupled with a wide range of different industries, and oil and gas reserves. Two of Russia’s largest navigable rivers flow through the region, connected by the Volga–Don Canal. The Volga Hydroelectric Station is also situated in the region.

The Volgograd Region has an advantageous geographical position as the main gateway to the south of Russia, with access to Iran, the Caucasus and Kazakhstan, and in the opposite direction to Central Russia and the Volga Region. Two of the most important rivers in European Russia, the Volga and the Don, also connect in the region through the Volga–Don Canal, which provides access to the Caspian Sea, the White Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.

The Astrakhan Region is located in the Caspian Sea Region at the crossroads of the “North—South” and “West—East” international transport corridors. Today, the Caspian Sea Region is gaining a strategic geopolitical role in both the Russian Federation and throughout Eurasia. The Astrakhan Region has a key role here as the shortest route for the “North—South” international transport corridor to India and Southeast Asia. Acting on instructions from Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, the Astrakhan Region has established a special economic port zone intended to become Russia’s port hub on the “North—South” ITC. This hub will provide access to the markets of both Asian and African countries. Consequently, the Astrakhan Region’s stand will emphasize development of new logistics routes and bolstering trade and economic relations with the countries of the Caspian Sea Region and with their neighbouring states, India, Southeast Asian states, and Africa, the potential to implement joint projects, including those in the port SEZ and industrial SEZ in the Astrakhan Region (both SEZ are combined as the Caspian cluster).
