It was a pleasant surprise for us when our colleagues from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, China united to support Russia represented by Kazan: we were elected to the UNACLA that unites 300,000 municipalities”.

In conclusion, the Mayor of Kazan expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to hold the next BRICS Summit in the capital of Tatarstan.
