The President said, in particular, in his telegram:
“The nuclear industry is deservedly considered one of the key strategic sectors in Russia’s economy and one of the country’s development priorities. This sector has always employed specialists of unique talent: scientists, engineers, builders, and workers, all people infinitely devoted to their work and calling.
It is pleasing to see that you are preserving and building on the wonderful traditions handed down by the many generations of your predecessors, while at the same setting ambitious new goals and producing major new professional achievements in building and operating new nuclear power plant units, developing promising new uranium deposits, and carrying out big international projects. All of this contributes to Russia’s prestige, competitiveness, and prosperity. Of course, you also pay particular attention to programmes related to Russia’s defence capability and security.
I am sure that you will draw on your wealth of experience, knowledge, and the sector’s immense potential to make a worthy contribution to reaching our national objectives.”
