Visitors to the stand of the Republic of Tuva can see a settlement of Old Believers, the highest mountain in Eastern Siberia, Lake Azas and the largest Buddhist temple in the country. On the Day of this region, the RUSSIA EXPO is holding a trivia quiz, with winners receiving a trip to Tuva Incognito travel route.

The drawing of the trip is not the only thing the Republic has prepared. It is holding workshops on stone-cutting art and making a souvenir whip. The region is also presenting a project to create a new transport route. Thanks to it, trade ties with Mongolia and China will be intensified.

"Remoteness and transport limitations, of course, hindered the development of Tuva in the past, and even now limit the implementation of promising projects. But the change of the strategic vector of the country's development towards the East, towards Asia, is changing our situation. The transit potential of Tuva is becoming in demand," - said Vladislav Khovalyg, Head of the Republic of Tuva.

One of the most colorful parts of the Day of the Region is the traditional wedding ceremony. This includes the custom of "stealing the first kiss", plaiting braids and collecting dowry. The guests of the exposition will also enjoy performances of folklore ensembles from Tuva and the concert “Where the Yenisei is born”.
