The message reads, in part:
“Over 600 boys and girls from all Commonwealth states are participating in competitions across various categories. Organising such large-scale creative competitions for children and teenagers is undoubtedly a commendable initiative. It provides children with an excellent opportunity to explore their artistic talents, showcase their abilities on an international stage, and receive feedback from esteemed cultural figures from our countries.
I am confident that the young contestants will have the opportunity not only to demonstrate their talents in music, choreography, visual art, singing, and the performing arts but also to connect with one another in a relaxed and informal setting. For many, these meetings in the welcoming capital of Kyrgyzstan may mark the beginning of lasting friendships.
We hope that the Children’s Delphic Games will become a good tradition. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone involved in organising these competitions and wish all participants inspiration, success, and, of course, unforgettable experiences.”
