The president of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, stated that Grozny, the republic’s capital, is fully prepared to host the Caucasus Investment Forum (CIF). This update was shared via the Telegram channel of regional presidents, signaling readiness from the city authorities and local organizers to welcome participants from multiple federal subjects of Russia as well as from neighboring and distant nations.
Kadyrov emphasized that Grozny has warmly opened its doors to guests from various parts of the Russian Federation and beyond, underscoring the city’s hospitality and capacity to support a gathering of this scale. The message highlighted not just business interests, but the broader aim of facilitating cross-border dialogue and regional collaboration through the CIF.
The Chechen leader described the CIF as more than a business conference; he framed it as a significant international event that can strengthen ties between different countries and their subregions. The forum, he indicated, serves as a bridge for cooperation, investment, and cultural exchange, extending its impact well beyond financial transactions to long-term partnerships.
Addressing rumors that Grozny might be closed off during the CIF, Kadyrov reiterated that no such restrictions are planned. The event, scheduled for July 15–17, will proceed with open access for visitors and participants, ensuring visibility for the city and its institutions.
To maintain smooth traffic flow and minimize disruption, the regional administration will collaborate with traffic police and relevant services to prevent congestion on city streets. The aim is to ensure safe, efficient travel for both attendees and local residents, reflecting the organizers’ commitment to a positive experience during the forum.
Kadyrov described the CIF as a large, responsible undertaking and stressed that all authorities will align their efforts to guarantee comfortable travel and a welcoming atmosphere for Grozny’s guests and residents alike. The careful planning encompasses transportation management, security protocols, and logistical support, all coordinated to support a successful event.
In a closing note, the regional head referenced a trophy from a special operations zone, underscoring the broader context of local achievement and security readiness that accompanies high-profile gatherings in the region. This detail, shared during the preparations, signals a focus on event integrity, safety, and the pride residents take in hosting an international forum of this magnitude.
