Deputy Prime Minister of Tatarstan Ravil Akhmetshin, who is also the plenipotentiary representative of the Republic of Tatarstan in Russia, read out a message of President Minnikhanov to the participants at the conference.
The issue of fighting terrorism is still the most important, given the fact that winning the war against terrorism requires a unity of effort, because this scourge threatens the whole world and seeks to sow chaos everywhere. The struggle must be carried out at all fronts, including the information and media field.
It is noteworthy that the main purpose of this forum is to continue the discussion on the information policy for the fight against extremism.
