Attention was also paid to the upcoming holy month of Ramadan (Orozo ayi). The Altai delegation requested to send three qaris from Kyrgyzstan to conduct khatma during the tarawih prayers and to provide support in educating young Altai Muslims in religious educational institutions in Kyrgyzstan.
The Mufti of Kyrgyzstan, in turn, noted the positive changes in the religious sphere of the Republic of Altai and confirmed the readiness to expand cooperation, including joint educational projects and knowledge exchange.

Qari is a person who recites the Quran with a deep knowledge of the text and skills in its correct pronunciation (with adherence to Tajweed).
Khatma is the process of reading the Quran from beginning to end.
