On October 14, Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov took part in an unveiling ceremony of the bust to the famous orientalist and political figure Yevgeny Primakov in the square near the Russian Center for Science and Culture in Cairo.

The first welcoming speech was given to Chairman of the Russia-Islamic World Strategic Vision Group Rustam Minnikhanov. “Today, we are unveiling the bust to the great Russian statesman and politician, a legendary figure and a man with a capital M Yevgeny Primakov. It is gratifying that this event takes place in the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. It is significant that the unveiling of the first bust abroad takes place in Egypt, where he began his foreign journalistic work and in the country, which he was truly in love with. I would like to note that Primakov together with the first Tatarstan President Mintimer Sharimiev were founding members of the Russia-Islamic World Strategic Vision Group. Today, the Group continues their initiatives,” Minnikhanov said.

Later on the same day, Tatarstan President had an interview with the famous Egyptian TV journalist Amro abdel Hamid, who is the Head of TEN TV channel (Tahrir Egyptian Network) and hosts the main Public Opinion daily talk show about current political and international events.
