On May 17, in Kazan, at the Government House of the Rais of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov met with the President of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Sergey Katyrin and the heads of chambers of commerce and industry of foreign countries.


The meeting was timed to coincide with the International Forum of Chambers of Commerce and Industry that opened today, which takes place within the framework of the XIV International Economic Forum "Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum".

 

Rustam Minnikhanov noted that KazanForum has become an effective platform for presenting investment opportunities, exchanging experience with foreign partners and establishing economic ties. The forum of chambers of commerce and industry, in turn, provides good opportunities for building new contacts between representatives of business communities.


Minnikhanov stressed that Tatarstan is an advanced region of Russia, which occupies a leading position in industrial development, investment and exports. Favorable conditions have been created in the republic for the development of business and attraction of investments. Close ties have been established with the countries of the Islamic world.


The Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Tatarstan makes a significant contribution to strengthening the interregional and foreign economic activity of the republic, Rustam Minnikhanov noted. Last year, the organization prepared and conducted visiting business missions to Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Iran. This year, business missions to Belarus, Turkey and Uzbekistan have been organized. In addition, dozens of business forums and meetings with foreign delegations are held at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Rais of Tatarstan thanked the leaders of the Chambers of Commerce and Industry for the visit to Kazan and wished them successful work. "Our republic is always open for partnership," he added.


In his response, Sergey Katyrin spoke about the tasks of the forum of chambers of commerce and industry and the business program. Thus, representatives of more than 45 Russian chambers and more than 10 foreign Chambers of Commerce and Industry are scheduled to participate in the forum this year. There will be a series of sessions dedicated to the development of family businesses, digital security, investment protection and other areas.
