On November 15, in the Kazan Kremlin, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov congratulated participants and winners of WorldSkills Abu Dhabi-2017.

"We have a good reason to meet today. Russia won the first place in the team rating and won the fifth position in the medal count at the WorldSkills Competition held in Abu Dhabi. The Russian team won eleven medals and got 22 medallions for professionalism. I think that this is a very good result. I should say that our country has shown such a result for the first time ever. I think that we are only at the beginning of the road,” Tatarstan President said in his welcoming speech.

"Our Tatarstan representatives won a gold medal in the Refrigeration Engineering and Air Conditioning Systems competence, a silver medal in the Mobile Robotics competence, as well as a medal for professionalism in the Engineering Design – CAD category. Such achievements are the result of hard work of mentors, teachers, international experts and, of course, WorldSkills Russia Union. I want to thank both those who are in this hall and those who are not present in this hall today for huge efforts they made," Tatarstan President addressed the audience.

Minnikhanov also stressed that he appreciates the success of those who have not won any medals. "The experience of participation in such a large-scale championship is worth much. We have already learned from our mistakes and will correct the system of training," he said.

Tatarstan President handed in awards to winners of WorldSkills Abu Dhabi-2017 and handed in Commendation of the President of the Republic of Tatarstan to their mentors and experts.
