The message reads, in part:
“Your large-scale and highly valued project clearly reflects society’s growing attention to the challenges faced by people with disabilities and brings together a diverse group of participants, including volunteers and social entrepreneurs, educators and mentors, representatives of government agencies and non-profit organisations from across the country.
I am confident that during this meeting with its rich and varied programme, you will discuss a broad range of pressing issues related to our ongoing work to ensure dignified living conditions and to provide professional and creative opportunities for people with disabilities. You will also exchange experiences and best practices, present ideas and initiatives, and coordinate the launch of promising projects in areas such as rehabilitation, adaptive sports, tourism, and others. Without a doubt, the participants will focus on providing all-out support for participants and veterans of the special military operation and strengthening cooperation with the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation.“
