The message reads, in part:
“The Chamber of Commerce and Industry is rightly regarded as one of the largest and most authoritative business associations in this country, one possessing a rich history and old traditions. One of the CCI’s undoubted achievements is its significant contribution to strengthening the national economy, creating favourable conditions for the development of modern, effective businesses and the emergence of a business climate, and improving legislation in this area. You are doing a great deal to defend the interests of Russian producers, promote their products and services on global markets, and strengthen collaboration with your foreign colleagues. You are also a reliable partner to the state in dealing with important social tasks.”
