The President said, in particular, in his message:
“Your important project has already become a good tradition and earned itself a reputation as an authoritative platform for professional discussion on preserving and developing the Russian language, raising its role in global integration processes, and strengthening the common humanitarian space.
The Russian language is the main unifying cement for Russia’s multi-ethnic people and a solid link with our compatriots abroad. The efforts of those taking part in the forum therefore deserve our greatest respect, as does the work of all who devote their talent and energy to the noble and important task of promoting the Russian language and our culture’s rich values.
I am sure that this forum will be full of interesting and substantive discussions and will take place in an atmosphere of creativity and development. Of course, I am sure it will also offer all taking part the chance to see Crimea’s historical monuments and unique nature.”
