Greetings to Community Forum of Active Citizens

The message reads, in part:

"It is deeply symbolic that your traditional forum convenes on the eve of a state holiday, National Unity Day, which is a perfect example of the power of national cohesion, solidarity and continuity of generations in attaining big, important goals.

These indelible values and sincere creative aspirations are the common features of the participants in your current forum, the caring people with an active civic stance in life, namely, the heroes of the special military operation and representatives of youth and volunteer movements, the scientific community, NGOs and businesses.

It is gratifying that you and your associates in all Russian regions are contributing your practical efforts and initiatives to dealing with our most relevant issues in education and awareness, ecology and tourism, healthcare and charity, development of our cities and villages, as well as support for the defenders of the Fatherland and their families. In the Year of the Family, it is especially important to focus on issues related to the improvement of demographic policy, the protection of motherhood and childhood, and assistance to large families.

I am confident that the impressive list of participants and busy agenda of your forum will help you discuss these and other priority issues at a high expert level, sum up the results of your joint work, and exchange best practices and plans for the future."
