Vladimir Putin sent greetings to participants and guests of the 17th Mashuk National Youth Forum in Pyatigorsk.
The message reads, in part:
“Your project has come a long way, substantially boosting its respect and consolidating potential. It has proved out that young people, with their activism, zeal, fresh perspective on current problems, and aspiration to serve the country and the nation, constitute a significant creative power that is needed to address issues in education, rearing the rising generation, preservation of our abundant cultural legacy, and enhancing inter-ethnic accord in society.
I strongly believe that beginning teachers and students of specialised education institutions, as well as young talents will be most actively engaged in this forum’s eventful programme, and will gain new knowledge, broaden their professional outlook while the forum’s traditional atmosphere of friendship and creativity will produce stimulating ideas and promising initiatives.”
