Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent a warm greeting to the guests and participants of the XV International Economic Forum "Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum". The text of his message is posted on the official website of the President of Russia.
"Dear friends!
I extend a hearty welcome to all participants and guests of the jubilee XV International Economic Forum "Russia - Islamic World", being held in Kazan.
Tatarstan once again vividly showcases its rich potential and firm determination to progress in various fields. The region's achievements in the economy, social sphere, science, and culture are truly impressive and serve as tangible evidence of the significant contribution made by Russian Muslims, residents of the republic of all nationalities, to the development of our Motherland. They strengthen its sovereignty and influence in the world, ensuring stability and harmony in our society.
Russia values its traditionally friendly relations with Muslim countries. We highly appreciate their commitment to pursuing independent foreign policies and enhancing their role in international affairs. Together, we advocate for the formation of a democratic multipolar world order based on the rule of law and principles of justice, free from any form of dictatorship and discrimination. And, of course, we are committed to expanding mutually beneficial cooperation in all areas - from trade and investment to sports and tourism.
We attach great importance to the upcoming meeting of the Group of Strategic Vision "Russia - Islamic World" with the participation of representatives of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. It is significant that Russia's interaction with this respected international structure on current issues of the regional and global agenda is growing.
I am confident that the forum's discussions, as always, will be substantive and constructive, conducted in a spirit of openness and trust, and will further strengthen the friendship and constructive partnership between our countries and peoples.
Wishing you productive discussions and all the best.
Vladimir Putin."
