I warmly congratulate you on the Day of the Republic of Tatarstan and the Kazan City Day!

The capital of Tatarstan is especially changed in recent years, becoming a modern, comfortable city. Kazan primarily owes its transfiguration you, the people who work tirelessly in the name of its prosperity.

Today Tatarstan is considered one of the fastest growing regions in the country, as an example of economic stability and peaceful coexistence of different nationalities and religions. And Kazan is a city of great opportunities, attracting both investors and tourists.

Our city is often the venue for major global events, including sports, which made it possible to call the city a sports capital of Russia. Kazan never ceases to delight its guests with warmth and beauty. Together we have managed what not every city has the strength to do - to preserve the spiritual heritage that has accumulated over more than a thousand years of history, and create a comfortable urban space that combines the ancient monuments and modern infrastructure, the centuries-old cultural tradition and innovation.

I believe that there are a lot of new victories and achievements in front of us, and together we will make Kazan even more beautiful and comfortable for the joy of our children and grandchildren.
