trade mission
I think you're right about the definition of VRP (i.e. a travelling salesperson). Here, presumably, it's colloquially referring to a trade mission.
It's up to you whether to keep "trade mission" or try to find something snappier, which will depend on the tone of your text.
Good luck,
Jocelyne

"a diplomatic sales campaign" might be a less formal way of translating the term.

a salesman's tour
It's rather ironical when applied to a politician who has been trying to sell projects or find new markets and prospects for his country
