Oriented on making people closer

Today, the editor-in-chief of the ORIENT website received a letter from Taliya Minullina, a member of the Government of the Republic of Tatarstan and a member of the Federal Organizing Committee for the XVI International Economic Forum "Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum".

The letter expresses sincere gratitude to our editorial staff for their contribution to the organization and information support of the event:

"Thanks to you and your colleagues, the information support for the Forum was at the highest level! It is a great honor for us to work with a team of true professionals," the letter says.

The ORIENT editorial staff was the official information partner of KazanForum 2025, the largest platform for interaction between Russia and the countries of the Islamic world. The forum was held from May 13 to 18 in Kazan.

The official report sent by the organizing committee confirmed that the ORIENT logo was featured on all key design elements of the forum — on digital screens and the media podium, in logomotion, in the mobile application, and on the KazanForum website.

The forum's media partners include such major Russian media outlets as TASS (general media partner), the Rossiya TV channel, RBC, Kommersant, and others.

ORIENT became one of the few foreign online resources included in this representative list, which we consider as recognition of our high-quality work.

Such a high rating is especially significant given the scale of the past event, which was covered by 857 journalists from 42 countries.

And the scale of the forum is truly impressive:

🔹 over 22,000 participants, including 8.5 thousand guests of the business program

🔹 96 countries, 82 subjects of the Russian Federation and 43 diplomatic missions

🔹 200+ events, 130 signed agreements

🔹 international exhibition Russia Halal Expo on an area of ​​30,000 square meters

🔹 International Property Market conference

🔹 more than 10,000 publications in the media, 33 press approaches, 7 press conferences, 38 press releases

"All this became possible thanks to the coordinated work of a large team of professionals," Taliya Minullina emphasized in the letter.

For the ORIENT team, participation in KazanForum 2025 was an important stage, confirmation of the international status of the publication and a contribution to the development of an open intercultural dialogue.

We sincerely thank the forum organizing committee for their cooperation, trust and high appreciation. Such moments, when the work is noticed and the result is appreciated, inspire us to move forward - with new motivation and confidence in the importance of the common cause.
