On 28 October the Rais (Head) of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov had a meeting with representatives of the Regional Public Organization “The Tatarstan Community”  held in the Pashkov House in Moscow which is one of architectural monuments of the Russian capital.

This is what we will work on – together with you.”

He also told about the BRICS Summit which plaid an enormous role in raising awareness about Tatarstan all over the world and added that the biggest achievement was the trust of Russian President Vladimir Putin who entrusted Kazan and Tatarstan with hosting the event.

Rustam Minnikhanov also reminded about the international forums “ROSTKI: Russia and China – mutually beneficial cooperation” and “TIME: Russia-India: Mutual Efficiency” annually held in the capital of the republic and that Kazan has been awarded the high honor of becoming the Cultural Capital of the Islamic World in 2026.

In the end of the meeting, the Chairman of the spiritual Board of Muslims of Russia Mufti Ravil Gaynutdin, who also took part in it, presented Rustam Minnikhanov with the highest award of Russian Muslims - the Al-Fakhr Order of Honor.
