✉️Greetings by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to the organisers, participants and guests of the 17th International Economic Forum “Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum”(April 28, 2026) ✍️ It is gratifying that hospitable Kazan is once again providing a platform for dialogue between cultures, religions and civilisations. Russia and Muslim countries enjoy friendly relations. There is mutual interest in developing a multifaceted partnership. We are also united by our commitment to shaping a #MultipolarWorldbased on the generally recognised principles of international law, the values of equality, mutual respect and the diversity of development models. The Group of Strategic Vision “Russia – Islamic World” makes its contribution to our joint efforts. I am confident that the Forum will help strengthen business contacts between Russia and the countries of the Islamic world, promote trade and economic ties, implement investment projects, create logistics routes and form technological alliances. I wish you every success in your work and all the very best. SERGEY LAVROV
