As part of the XV International Economic Forum "Russia — Islamic World: KazanForum," the international exhibition-fair "Kazan Halal Market" has officially opened its doors to participants and visitors. The Rais (Head) of the Republic of Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov, led the opening ceremony, which this year features over 100 companies from 11 Russian regions alongside international exhibitors. Turkmenistan’s National Pavilion has emerged as a significant highlight of the event, showcasing the country’s economic achievements and diverse industrial capabilities.

During his tour of the exhibition, Rustam Minnikhanov visited the Turkmen stand, where he was briefed on the latest developments in Turkmenistan’s textile, food, and manufacturing sectors. The Rais expressed high appreciation for the quality of the exhibits and the elegant presentation of the national heritage. He noted that Turkmenistan's consistent participation in the KazanForum is a testament to the strengthening ties between the two nations and their shared interest in expanding the halal industry and regional trade logistics.

In a traditional gesture of hospitality and friendship, representatives of the Turkmen delegation presented Rustam Minnikhanov with a handcrafted Turkmen carpet. This gift symbolized the deep cultural bonds and the commitment to a long-term strategic partnership between Tatarstan and Turkmenistan. The Turkmen pavilion successfully combined modern industrial achievements with ancient artisanal traditions, leaving a profound impression on the high-ranking guests and international experts alike.

The "Kazan Halal Market" serves as a vital platform for fostering direct business contacts and exploring investment opportunities within the Islamic world. For Turkmenistan, participating in such a large-scale forum provides an excellent opportunity to promote national brands on the global stage and engage with international partners. The exhibition will continue throughout the forum, offering a space for networking, cultural exchange, and the signing of new commercial agreements.
