Colleagues, I wish you all success.

You have very concrete and also very complex work ahead. The global economy faces many uncertainties and there are many factors that are not yet clear. This is the environment in which you will be working to carry out Russia’s development programme and continue taking us forward. Much has been accomplished over these last years, but we have not completed all of what was planned, and there is still much more work to come. 

Mr Medvedev and I discussed in detail just now the tasks before the Government today. I wish you success.
