President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov met with the delegation of the Union of Cooperatives of Indonesia “Inkopontren” headed by the Chairman of the Union of Cooperatives of Indonesia Mohamad Sukri Tarmidi.

The meeting, which took place in the House of the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan, was attended by the head of the Spiritual Assembly of Muslims of Russia, Mufti of Moscow Albir Hazrat Krganov and Mufti of Muslim Religious Administration of the Republic of Tatarstan Kamil Hazrat Samigullin. The conversation took place in a warm, friendly and, at the same time, businesslike atmosphere.

Guests from Indonesia came to the Russian Federation at the invitation of the Spiritual Assembly of Muslims of Russia.

Earlier, during the visit of the Russian delegation headed by Mufti of the SAMR Albir Khazrat Krganov to Jakarta, representatives of Indonesian business and local politicians voiced their desire to visit the Republic of Tatarstan to establish closer contacts. Now a delegation from Indonesia has arrived in Kazan to meet with business circles, where they were received by President of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov.

In his speech, the head of the republic noted that Indonesia is one of the most intensively growing economies in Southeast Asia and an important trading partner of Russia among the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries. Recently, there has been an increase in Russian-Indonesian cooperation in various fields.

 

He also stressed that Tatarstan is showing great interest in cooperation with Indonesia. A number of Tatarstan companies have experience of working in this country, but trade and economic interaction does not yet correspond to the existing potential.

During the meeting, a number of interesting proposals were voiced as part of the further development of Russian-Indonesian cooperation with the involvement of the Muslim community of both states.

The delegation of the Union of Cooperatives of Indonesia, accompanied by Mufti Albir Khazrat Krganov, also visited the residence of Muslim Religious Administration of the Republic of Tatarstan. Mufti of Tatarstan Kamil hazrat Samigullin told the guests about the priority areas of activity of the Tatarstan Muftiyat. Representatives of Indonesia were especially interested in the work of the Huzur TV channel and other projects implemented in the region.
