Russian National Day in Dubai

For the first time in eight years since the establishment of the Russian consular office in Dubai, at the end of May at the Movenpick Bur Dubai Hotel, the Consul General of the Russian Federation in Dubai and the Northern Emirates hosted a reception on the occasion of the upcoming National Day - Russian Day. The celebration, which was attended by more than 250 people, took place in a festive atmosphere and was accompanied by a wonderful concert of music artists, singers and dancers.

During the official part of the reception, the Russian Consul General Sergei Krasnogor spoke, who emphasized the importance of the visit to the UAE last September, V.V. Putin, "which gave an important impetus to the intensification of Russian-Emirate relations." The Emirate’s main guest was Rashid Ahmed bin Fahd, Minister of Environment and Water.

The reception was honored by the presence of Emirates senior vice president Ahmed al-Khoury, heads of several major Dubai companies, consuls general in Dubai who shared a meal with the Russian ambassador to the UAE, Andrei Zakharov and his wife.

Representatives of Lukoil, Rustar, travel agencies, prominent Russian businessmen in festive attire, some occasionally decorated with dignified "butterflies," conducted conversations in a relaxed, lively atmosphere at tables and in the smoking room.

At the reception there were many beautiful women, including local ones, which, of course, should be attributed to the merits of the consul general Larisa Krasnogor, who managed to stir up the beautiful half of the local society. The artistic part of the evening was held brilliantly, thanks to the excellent performance of Russian romances by Lena Kotovich and the skill of instrumentalists Yevgeny Morozov and Elena von Heifen. The guests and pupils of the Sharjah Children's Music School pleased the guests.

Sergei Krasnogor extended the May holidays for the Russian colony in the United Arab Emirates in anticipation of the National Day, which a little later was celebrated in the first half of June, now on the Abudab site.
