Before the meeting Rustam Minnikhanov looked round an exhibition of manufacturers and arts and crafts.

The guests were welcomed by Vasil Shaykhraziev, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tatarstan and Chairman of the National Council of the World Congress of the Tatars.

They were warmly welcomed with songs, dances, and the traditional Tatar delicacy—chak-chak. Together, they sang and danced, fostering a spirit of unity and friendship.

The excursion program will highlight achievements in the agro-industrial sector, the implementation of innovative technologies, and infrastructure development.

This year, the congress has gathered 900 small business owners and farm managers from more than 45 regions of the Russian Federation, as well as from Tatarstan.

Today, the grand opening will take place at the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan (20 Baumana Street), followed by discussion sessions.

This year, over 60 aspiring writers have submitted their works for consideration.

Members of the Azerbaijani diaspora also joined the master class, eager to learn about Tatar culinary traditions and techniques.

The event brought together students of the "Tatar Tele" course, guests, and teachers to pay tribute to the hero and his comrades, who gave their lives in August 1944.

Participants enjoyed a vibrant and festive atmosphere, received memorable awards, and took home special gifts.
