Kadyrov's son became a member of the Arab Arbitration Court and received another medal
17-year-old Adam Kadyrov, the son of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, visited Egypt as part of a delegation from the region to discuss the prospects for developing investment cooperation.
 
"One of the significant results of the visit was the presentation to Adam Kadyrov of a permanent certificate of membership in the Arab Arbitration Court. He was also awarded the medal "Honorary Guest of Libya". This step indicates a high level of trust and recognition of his contribution to the development of international cooperation," Ramzan Kadyrov wrote on his Telegram channel.
 
Kadyrov Jr. oversees two battalions in Chechnya, named after Baysangur Benoevsky and Sheikh Mansur. He also holds the position of head of the security service for his father and oversees the Russian Special Forces University in Gudermes.
 
To date, Adam Kadyrov has received at least 15 awards, medals and orders. In particular, he was awarded the title of Hero of Chechnya and the highest award of the Chechen Republic – the Order of Kadyrov. Let us recall that the son of the head of Chechnya became famous after the publication of a video in which he beats Nikita Zhuravel, convicted of burning the Koran, in the pretrial detention center of Grozny.
