The message reads, in part:
“The forum has brought together representatives of different professions, ages, and generations – literary elite and philosophers, scientists and cultural workers, and young people – for a serious, in-depth conversation on long-term strategic plans and our vision of our future.
I am convinced that, despite the current challenges we are facing today, we need to set goals that are ahead of their time, identify new areas for potential breakthroughs, and aspire to look beyond the horizon of tomorrow.
I would like to emphasise one thing: we must be the ones to define our future with sovereignty as the core of our world view, based on national culture, continuous artistic exploration and firm commitment to unquestionable moral and patriotic ideals and values. Then the boldest and most daring dreams will surely come true. Our people have proved this many times in the course of our thousand-year history. It established a great power, opened the way to the stars for humankind, ensured the country's leadership in the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and made great scientific and geographical discoveries. We and future generations should be worthy of their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers.”
