The President addressed the congress participants and noted that the purpose of the exposition was to demonstrate the achievements and successes of Russia in various spheres over the past few years. After that, the head of state sang the anthem of the Russian Federation together with the congress participants.
"You have now met at VDNH, at the RUSSIA EXPO. Here we wanted to show what our country has done over the past few years. And we have a lot to be proud of. The things presented here were once someone's dream. I remember postcards from the Far East dating back to the beginning of the last century. There's a picture of a bridge that people dreamed of. They dreamed it would be there someday. That was at the very beginning of the last century. Today we have this bridge, we have built it, and another one that is even bigger than the one people dreamed of, and many more achievements that they could not even dream of in their time. I am sure that if you feel in the same purposeful, confident way, go purposefully to your goal, fulfill your dream, we will succeed even more," Vladimir Putin said.
"Russia's successes start with each of us. I am sure
that after visiting the expositions, the guests feel proud of our country and
feel a sense of involvement in its achievements," said Natalia Virtuozova,
Director General of the ANO «Directorate of the Exhibition of Achievements
"Russia"».
