On July 01 Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov, Director General of FSUE Russian Post Dmitry Strashnov, Tatarstan Vice-Premier – Minister of Information and Communication Roman Shaikhutdinov took part in the opening ceremony of the reconstructed post office No. 420000 situated on Kremlevskaya street.

The business-class post office is the first one in Tatarstan.

Rustam Minnikhanov became the first customer of the post office. Tatarstan President sent a postal card to Russian Minister of Communications and Mass Media Nikolay Nikiforov to inform that the post office No. 420000 was opened and started functioning.

Then, Rustam Minnikhanov, Dmitry Strashnov and Roman Shaikhutdinov symbolically cancelled a postage stamp, issued by FSUE Russian Post especially for the 27th World Summer Universiade 2013.

Speaking at the ceremony, Tatarstan President thanked the Russian Post leadership and pointed out partnership relations between Tatarstan and the company. “1,1 thousand post offices are currently functioning in Tatarstan. We are working hard within the framework of the Universiade. Post offices were opened in new airport complex and stadium. We have even more ambitious plans,” Tatarstan President said, apparently having in mind the plans of the Russian post to open the international post exchange center in Kazan.

Dmitry Strashnov, in his turn, said that Tatarstan was one of the priority regions for the Russian Post and the company had achieved good business-results in Tatarstan. He expressed his hope that the projects implemented by the company in cooperation with Tatarstan Government would be successful.
