Moscow Halal Expo 2015 opens
Fair promoting Islamic food, fashion and culture begins in Russian capital.
The fair, for which Anadolu Agency is the global communications partner, is packed with displays from companies involved in Islamic finance, clothing, fashion, culture, pharmacy and tourism, as well as halal food products and services.
Firms have travelled from as far afield as Turkey, Iran, Britain, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Malaysia to attend the three-day expo.
The Russian market for halal products - meat slaughtered according to Islamic law - is increasing to the “growth of religious consciousness” among Russian Muslims, according to the exhibition website.
Visitors will have the chance to listen to seminars from experts from across a wide spectrum of Islamic-influenced business sectors.
The program includes a day of Islamic culture, giving visitors the chance to see new trends in Muslim fashion and cuisine, as well as examine Islamic art and listen to traditional music.
