At all times, the Russian diplomats were rightfully considered to be the most educated and committed to the task. Their wide horizons, expertise and selfless service to the interests of the Motherland have enabled them to be the winners of many peaceful victories for centuries.
I wish you good health, happiness and new success in your important work for the good of Russia!
