These achievements are associated with the name of the First President of the Chechen Republic, Hero of Russia Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov (may Allah accept his martyrdom!).
At the beginning of the year, under the initiative of the Head of the Chechen Republic, Hero of Russia Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov, with the comprehensive support of the Government of the Russian Federation and financial support from DOM.RF, an Open International Competition for the development of the master plan for Grozny was launched, with the participation of Russian specialists and leading experts from different countries. The master plan for the city will determine the urban planning and socio-economic development directions. The very decision to hold this competition reflects a new stage in the development of the entire Republic. And today, we can confidently say that the project of creating a city of the future in Grozny has come true!” emphasized Khas-Magomed Kadyrov.

The city determines Russia’s relationship with Asia and Africa and is a connecting link in partnership with the Arab world”.
