"We
have much to show and be proud of. But it is also important to present it
beautifully and skillfully. And you have succeeded in this! Thank you very
much! We have agreed to create the National Centre on the EXPO site; this has
been decided. We will also be doing this in the regions of the Russian
Federation. I would like it to be as vibrant as you have managed to do here,”

to master new professions. The National Centre will also assist in establishing
branches in the country's regions.
"On
this important Day of Love, Family and Fidelity, it is crucial for the

National Centre in all regions of the Russian Federation. We are ready to pilot
this if you assign us,” said the Governor of the Stavropol region, Vladimir
Vladimirov, during the meeting with the President.
