The message reads, in part:
“Your project has brought together goal-oriented and talented young people from across the country, offering them a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and competencies, get involved in addressing current creative, technical and humanitarian challenges related to environmental protection, and contribute to the environmental well-being of their home regions. I would like to make special mention of the forum’s significant educational and outreach potential, and its role in fostering environmental awareness among the younger generation and nurturing a responsible and caring attitude towards Russia’s invaluable natural wealth.
I am confident that, as part of the comprehensive programme of the current forum in Magnitogorsk, participants will be able to discuss the most pressing issues on the environmental agenda with renowned experts and representatives of public organisations and government agencies, learn many useful and interesting facts, as well as meet like-minded people and make new friends.”
