Dear friends!
I congratulate you to Russia Day!
June 12 is a special date for each of us. It is a symbol of the inextricable connection between the past and the present of our Motherland, it is a symbol of unity and cohesion of multinational peoples of Russia. We are proud of our rich history and cultural identity, treasure our traditions and create the future of great Russia.
Today time sets new complicated tasks. We need to put forth tremendous efforts for the national agriculture and fishery to become highly profitable and competitive, provide full import substitution and help to deal with the matters of food safety in the country. I am sure that, supporting each other, we will be able to meet the goals and progress to a new stage.
This holiday, I wish good health and buoyancy on you, to put your plans into life, and be wealthy and happy!
Minister of Agriculture of the Russian Federation A.N.Tkachev
