The greeting reads, in particular:
“I congratulate all participants in this project, a project that is performing a major state task, establishing a heavy industry installation to destroy stocks of chemical weapons.
This large-scale project has been completed very quickly and is the result of large efforts and hard work by leading Russian academic, design and construction organizations. It is also a serious step on the way towards implementing important international agreements and obligations. It is important that work on this installation use the most modern technology available, high-tech products and stringent ecological standards. All of this will ensure that it operates in a reliable way.
I am confident that the installation that was built will allow us to resolve present-day problems concerning chemical disarmament.”
