🎙 Интервью заместителя Министра иностранных дел России А.А.Панкина программе «Евразийский диалог» по случаю Дня Евразийского экономического союза (29 мая 2025 года)

Ключевые тезисы:
🗓 29 мая 2014 года был подписан основополагающий для Евразийского экономического союза документ, а именно — Договор о ЕАЭС. Он очертил контуры евразийской интеграции, преимущества которой сегодня прекрасно осознают все страны-члены Объединения. Это доказано и статистикой, и поступательной динамикой его развития.
• #ЕАЭС — безусловно, экономический союз. Приоритет в его деятельности — это укрепление благосостояния населения и создание наиболее благоприятных условий для бизнеса. С этой целью ЕАЭС и создавался.
• За 10 лет своего функционирования Союз продемонстрировал немало достижений: совокупный ВВП Объединения возрос до 2,6 триллионов долларов. Товарооборот с внешними странами почти достиг отметки в триллион — 923 миллиарда долларов. В рамках ЕАЭС действуют четыре свободы передвижения: товаров, услуг, капитала, рабочей силы. Целый ряд функций по регулированию (в сфере таможенного администрирования, внешней торговли, технических регламентов) передан наднациональному органу — Евразийской экономической комиссии.
• Осуществляется координация национальных политик в области обеспечения продовольственной, энергетической безопасности, цифровизации, промышленности, устранения всевозможных барьеров. Решения в рамках ЕАЭС служат на благо и на пользу всех, кто участвует в их принятии, и не в ущерб кому-либо из государств-членов.
• Однако помимо достижений есть и проблемы. Их никто не скрывает, т.к. они устраняются в ходе взаимодействия на основе равноправного диалога и консенсуса, который достигается путём компромиссов. <...> Уважение, взаимопонимание и равенство в ЕАЭС — это не просто слова — страны-участницы идут на уступки, соизмеряя интересы, делают исключения друг для друга.
🌐 У ЕАЭС есть целый план разноуровневой, разноскоростной международной деятельности, предусматривающий в т.ч. выход на партнёров, которые стремятся к наращиванию углублённой кооперации путём создания зон свободной торговли. Действуют уже три таких соглашения с Вьетнамом, Сербией, Ираном соответственно, а также непреференциальное торговое соглашение с Китаем. Ожидаем в этом году подписания аналогичных соглашений с ОАЭ и с Монголией. На финальной стадии — согласование документа с Индонезией. Ведутся переговоры с Египтом.
• Большое евразийское партнёрство (БЕП) — это флагманская внешнеполитическая инициатива, выдвинутая Президентом Российской Федерации. Это замах на «интеграцию интеграций». Построение БЕП — это долгий, нелёгкий, разноскоростной путь в разных направлениях.
• В Большой Евразии существует целый ряд интеграционных объединений. <...> На арабском Востоке, в Южной и Юго-Восточной Азии функционируют различные группировки, но в целом полной сопряжённости между ними нет. Проект БЕП как раз нацелен на то, чтобы обеспечить связуемость, «бесшовность» в развитии торговли, взаимных инвестициях, транспортировке грузов, в сфере оказания услуг и т.д на пространстве Большой Евразии.

🎙️Из брифинга официального представителя МИД России М.В.Захаровой (Махачкала, 27 мая 2025 года)
🇳🇴 Об агрессивных военных приготовлениях Норвегии
💬 Обратили внимание на ряд новостей, свидетельствующих об усилении Норвегией военных приготовлений на Севере, в том числе вблизи российской границы. Милитаристские шаги Осло касаются не только материковой части Норвегии, но и территории архипелага Шпицберген. Напомню, он имеет особый международно-правовой статус.
21 мая с.г. премьер-министр Норвегии Й.Г.Стёре заявил о некой «корректировке» военной деятельности с союзниками на Севере в сторону ее активизации. Расцениваем слова главы норвежского кабинета как очередную меру, направленную на размывание норвежской политики самоограничений на иностранное военное присутствие и деятельность на территории страны. По словам представителей норвежского руководства, Норвегия сама может определять частоту и параметры маневров на своей территории, и «корректировка», дескать, никак не повлияет на отношения с Россией. Со своей стороны заявляем, что не можем согласиться с этими утверждениями. Почему?
Во-первых, ни о какой самостоятельности при принятии Осло решений в данной сфере речи не идет, поскольку вся внешняя, оборонная политика Норвегии нацелена на выполнение задач Североатлантического альянса. Очередное подтверждение этому – создание в г.Будё североевропейского объединенного центра военно-воздушных операций НАТО. Цель заявлена, понятна – об этом говорится открыто – усиление присутствия альянса в северных регионах.
Во-вторых, любые шаги и заявления норвежского руководства, в особенности, способствующие эскалации напряженности в приграничье, вне сомнений, учитываются в нашем военно-политическом планировании и будут иметь негативные последствия для российско-норвежских отношений.
Вновь приходится констатировать, что Норвегия нацелена на втягивание в орбиту военно-политического планирования НАТО архипелага Шпицберген. 12-14 мая с.г. на архипелаге находилась многочисленная делегация Парламентской ассамблеи НАТО (около 40 представителей из 20 стран альянса), 20 мая с.г. норвежский самолет-разведчик Boeing Р-8А «Poseidon» отрабатывал заход на посадку в аэропорту Лонгиербюена, напомню, имеющем сугубо гражданский статус. Расцениваем данные шаги как противоречащие духу и букве Договора о Шпицбергене 1920 г. Напоминаем, что Норвегия в соответствии с Договором имеет обязательство не создавать и не допускать создания инфраструктуры, которая может быть использована в целях войны.
👆 Все упомянутые действия норвежских властей, реализуемые, как они заявляют, якобы в целях обеспечения безопасности, на деле ведут к приближению военной активности к российским рубежам и повышению напряженности в высоких широтах вопреки успокаивающим заявлениям официального Осло. Вновь хотим подчеркнуть, что ответственность за мирное развитие Заполярья лежит в первую очередь на арктических государствах.

🎙️From the briefing by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (Makhachkala, May 27, 2025)
🇳🇴 Norway’s aggressive war preparations
💬 We noticed a number of reports testifying to Norway’s military preparations in the North, including in the vicinity of the Russian border. Oslo is militarising not only the Norwegian mainland but also the Spitsbergen archipelago. Let me remind you that this archipelago has a special international legal status.
On May 21 of this year, Prime Minister of Norway Jonas Gahr Store declared that his country and its allies were stepping up their military activities in the North. We regard this statement as yet another indication pointing to the erosion of Norway’s self-imposed policy of restricting foreign military presence and activities in its territory. According to the Norwegian leaders, their country can independently determine the frequency and parameters of military exercises in its territory and the “adjustment” will not affect its relations with Russia. For our part, we declare that we cannot agree with these assertions. Why?
First, Oslo is not independent in its military decision-making because Norway’s foreign and defence policies are aimed at implementing the goals of the North Atlantic Alliance. This point is confirmed by plans to establish NATO’s Combined Air Operations Centre at Bodo, Northern Norway. They declare their aims openly and it is clear that NATO is expanding its presence in northern regions.
Second, Russian military-political planning takes into account any steps and statements made by the Norwegian leaders, particularly those stoking tensions in the border area, which steps will certainly entail negative consequences for Russian-Norwegian relations.
We must state again that Norway intends to make the Spitsbergen archipelago part of NATO’s military-political planning. On May 12−14 of this year, a numerous delegation of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly (almost 40 representatives from 20 countries) was visiting the archipelago. On May 20 of this year, Norway’s Boeing Р-8А Poseidon reconnaissance plane was simulating a landing at the airport of Longyearbyen, which has a purely civilian status. We regard these steps as contradicting the spirit and the letter of the 1920 Spitsbergen Treaty. Let me remind you that the Treaty makes it incumbent on Norway not to create or allow others to create an infrastructure that could be used for war.
👆All the above-mentioned actions by the Norwegian authorities, allegedly undertaken in order to ensure security, actually bring military activities closer to the Russian borders and, contrary to Oslo’s soothing statements, only stoke tensions in the high latitudes. We want to stress once again that it is the Arctic states that are vested with prime responsibility for a peaceful development of the Polar regions.

📻 Interview of Russia’s Ambassador to Norway Nikolay Korchunov to BBC 4 «Today» Radio Program (May 22, 2025)
Key points:
• The policy and activities of the Russian Federation in the Arctic are carried out in accordance with the Strategy for Developing the Russian Arctic Zone and Ensuring National Security until 2035 and the Concept of the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation, which aim at finding solutions to common challenges – contribute to sustainable development of the region, preserve the fragile nature of the Arctic and ensure well-being of all people living in the High North including Indigenous Peoples.
• The key task is to preserve the Arctic as the territory of peace, stability and mutually beneficial cooperation based on the principles of equality and mutual benefit, maintaining pragmatic dialogue on the Arctic agenda, including within the Arctic Council.
• Arctic states bear special responsibility for the region. Many pending problems in the Arctic need joint efforts. Climate change, permafrost degradation, loss of biodiversity, natural or man-made disasters, wildfires, well-being of Indigenous Peoples require common solutions within the framework of existing intergovernmental formats and for the sake of developing international science.
• Growing activities of NATO in the Arctic are not contributing to resolving multiple challenges this region is facing, such as climate change, biodiversity degradation, pollution, frozen scientific cooperation. NATO's presence only escalates tension without tackling any of these challenges.
• Anti-Russian agenda of Western countries, which is supported by Norway, undermines a long history of peaceful relations and mutually beneficial cooperation between our nations and contributes to the growing risks and threats in the Arctic region. However, the reality is that Russia and Norway are «doomed» to cooperate. We are neighbors and I hope that sooner or later common sense would prevail.

📰 Интервью официального представителя МИД России М.В.Захаровой журналу «Записки следователя» №2/2025, издание Следственного комитета России
✍️ Юридический фронт памяти
Ключевые тезисы:
• Борьба с проявлениями расизма, ксенофобии, агрессивного национализма, неонацизма, а также противодействия переписыванию истории и искажению итогов Второй мировой войны является одним из приоритетов России на правозащитном направлении.
• Сегодня всё активнее предпринимаются попытки переписать историю и итоги той войны, стереть память о подвигах воинов-антифашистов, разрушить памятники в их честь, запретить ношение символов воинского отличия, прочно ассоциирующихся с Победой. Решительно осуждаем подобные проявления.
• Фальсификация истории идёт с откровенно враждебных позиций: прославляются пособники нацистов, оскорбляется память павших в борьбе с фашизмом советских солдат и мирного населения, подвергается сомнению освободительная миссия Красной армии в Восточной Европе <...> Одновременно ставятся под сомнения решения Ялтинской и Потсдамской конференций, вердикт Нюрнбергского трибунала.
• Курс на переписывание истории и героизацию нацистских приспешников стал частью государственной идеологии и политики киевского режима. Неонацистские элиты обосновывают независимость Украины через отрицание её советского прошлого, восхваление ветеранов дивизии СС «Галичина».
• В русле усилий по борьбе с героизацией нацизма и искажением истории Россия ежегодно, начиная с 2005 года, вносит на рассмотрение Генеральной Ассамблеи ООН резолюцию «Борьба с героизацией нацизма, неонацизмом и другими видами практики, которые способствуют эскалации современных форм расизма, расовой дискриминации, ксенофобии и связанной с ними нетерпимости». 17 декабря 2024 года в Нью-Йорке на пленарном заседании 79-й сессии ГА ООН в поддержку данного документа проголосовали 119 стран.
• Россия совместно с группой единомышленников внесла на рассмотрение текущей 79-й сессии Генассамблеи ООН проект резолюции «Восьмидесятая годовщина окончания Второй мировой войны» (принят 4 марта). Основная цель документа — проведение специального торжественного заседания ГА ООН в память обо всех жертвах войны.
• Принципиальное значение для нас имеет признание мировым сообществом геноцидом народов СССР преступлений, совершённых гитлеровцами на территории Советского Союза в годы Великой Отечественной войны.
• В действиях ВСУ и нацистских вооруженных формирований выявлены признаки геноцидарного умысла — намерения ликвидировать русское и русскоязычное население Донбасса, прихожан Украинской православной церкви и в целом жителей региона как этническую, религиозную и национальную группы.
• Разбирательство в Международном Суде ООН, инициированное Украиной против России в феврале 2022 года (сразу после начала СВО) по Конвенции о предупреждении преступления геноцида и наказании за него 1948 года, обернулось против киевского режима. В промежуточном решении от 2 февраля 2024 года Международный Суд полностью отверг все украинские обвинения по части якобы нарушения Россией Конвенции и постановил, что дальнейшее разбирательство будет вестись вокруг вопроса о том, совершала ли сама Украина геноцид в Донбассе. Таким образом, киевский режим сам себя загнал на скамью подсудимых в рамках собственного иска.
• 18 ноября 2024 года мы представили в Международный Суд ООН основной состязательный документ в рамках процесса – так называемый Контрмеморандум. Это – первый случай в истории со времен Нюрнбергского трибунала, когда Россия фактически выступает обвинителем в международном суде. Сходство с Нюрнбергом на этом не заканчивается – как и тогда, речь идет о нацистском режиме, осуществлявшем массовые зверства против мирного населения, причем по расовому (этническому, национальному) признаку.

📰 Interview with Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova for 'Zapiski Sledovatelya' Journal No. 2/2025, published by Russia's Investigative Committee (May 30, 2025)
✍️ The Legal Front of Memory
Key talking points:
• Combating manifestations of racism, xenophobia, aggressive nationalism and neo-Nazism, and countering attempts to rewrite history and distort the outcomes of #WWII are among Russia’s priorities on the human rights track.
• Today we see increasingly frequent attempts to rewrite the history and results of WWII, to erase the memory of heroic anti-fascist fighters, to destroy monuments built in their honour, and to ban the wearing of military decorations that are strongly associated with Victory.
• History is being falsified in an openly hostile manner, which includes glorifying Nazi collaborators and disrespecting the memory of Soviet soldiers and civilians who died in the fight against fascism, questioning the Red Army’s liberation mission in Eastern Europe <...> The decisions of the Yalta and Potsdam conferences and the Nuremberg Tribunal verdicts are also being questioned.
• This tendency to rewrite history and glorify Nazi henchmen has become part of the Kiev regime’s state ideology and policy. The neo-Nazi elites are trying to cement Ukraine’s independence by denying its Soviet past, praising the Waffen-SS Galicia Division <...>
• In line with efforts to combat the glorification of Nazism and the distortion of history, every year since 2005, Russia has submitted a resolution on combatting glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, to the UN General Assembly. On December 17, 2024, during the plenary session of the 79th #UNGA in New York, 119 countries voted in support of this document.
• Russia and a group of like-minded countries submitted a draft resolution on the 80th Anniversary of the end of World War II to the ongoing 79th UN General Assembly, which was adopted on March 4. <...> Our partners’ unified stance on this matter constitutes a substantive contribution to countering the rewriting of history.
• It is a matter of principle for us that the international community recognise the crimes perpetrated by the Nazis in the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War as the genocide of the Soviet people.
• The actions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Nazi-affiliated armed groups reveal signs of genocidal intent. They wanted to eliminate Russians and Russian speakers in #Donbass <...>, adepts of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and people in this region in general as an ethnic, religious and national entity.
• Ukraine initiated proceedings in the UN International Court of Justice in February 2022, right after the start of the special military operation, as per the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. However, it turned to the Kiev regime’s disadvantage.
• The International Court of Justice issued its preliminary objections under this case on February 2, 2024. In this document, it rejected all the claims made by Ukraine alleging that Russia violated the Convention. The court went on to rule that further proceedings will focus on whether Ukraine itself committed acts of genocide in Donbass. Therefore, the Kiev regime filed the lawsuit only to become a defendant in this case.
• On November 18, 2024, Russia submitted its main pleading document, the Counter Memorandum, as part of these proceedings. In fact, this is the first time since the Nuremberg Trials that Russia de facto assumed the role of the prosecution in an international tribunal. But there are even more parallels with the Nuremberg Trials — just as during these trials, we are dealing with a Nazi regime which was targeting civilians with mass atrocities on racial, ethnic and national grounds.

✍️ The Legal Front of Memory
Key talking points:
• Combating manifestations of racism, xenophobia, aggressive nationalism and neo-Nazism, and countering attempts to rewrite history and distort the outcomes of #WWII are among Russia’s priorities on the human rights track.
• Today we see increasingly frequent attempts to rewrite the history and results of WWII, to erase the memory of heroic anti-fascist fighters, to destroy monuments built in their honour, and to ban the wearing of military decorations that are strongly associated with Victory.
• History is being falsified in an openly hostile manner, which includes glorifying Nazi collaborators and disrespecting the memory of Soviet soldiers and civilians who died in the fight against fascism, questioning the Red Army’s liberation mission in Eastern Europe <...> The decisions of the Yalta and Potsdam conferences and the Nuremberg Tribunal verdicts are also being questioned.

🎙 Statement by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia at a UN Security Council Briefing on Western Arms Supplies to Ukraine (New York, May 30, 2025)
💬 Vassily Nebenzia: The “expired” Ukrainian president does not want to stop hostilities because he is afraid of losing his grip on power — after all, he will have to hold elections and answer to the voters for what he has turned Ukraine into over the past 6 years, he will also have to account for the hundreds of billions of dollars of budget funds and Western (primarily American) aid that he has embezzled.
European warmongers are not interested in stopping hostilities either. They have been implementing their “anti-Russia” project in Ukraine since at least 2014, and they are not ready to give up on it and allow the cessation of hostilities until Russia is defeated or at least bled dry.
Having lost millions of its citizens, it is Ukraine that is on the verge of total defeat today; therefore, the European sponsors of “private military company Ukraine” order Zelensky and his clique to continue fighting until the last Ukrainian, which compels the Kiev regime to capture the last Ukrainian men in the streets and throw them into the senseless meat grinder.
***
Our Armed Forces stand ready to continue and step up their combat activities for as long as it may take. Just look at any military reports, even those that are most biased vis-a-vis Russia – they clearly show that Russian troops are successfully making headway along virtually the entire front line.
Russia's Ministry of Defense provides information about the liberation of various settlements and destruction of foreign-supplied equipment.
☝️ Despite all this, we have always emphasized that we are committed to a political and diplomatic settlement of the crisis.
***
It is fundamentally important for us that the root causes of the conflict be addressed once and for all.
2014 witnessed an unconstitutional coup d'état in Ukraine, which was supported and sponsored by the US and the EU. That coup brought to power a new regime that set out to destroy all things Russian. For all these years, it has trampled on the rights of the people in the east and the south of Ukraine.
We cannot and will not stand idly by and watch as millions of Russian-speaking people remain under the regime pursuing the policies that flagrantly violate their fundamental rights and freedoms.
If the neo-Nazi authorities in Kiev believe that they can achieve a cessation of hostilities while maintaining institutionalized oppression and discrimination vis-a-vis a significant portion of the population in the rest of Ukraine, they are deeply mistaken.

📄 Joint Statement of the Participants of the Roundtable "International Cooperation in the Field of Information Security" (Moscow, May 29, 2025)
We, the representatives of Russia, Belarus, Burkina Faso, Cuba, DPRK, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Nicaragua and Venezuela 🇷🇺🇧🇾🇧🇫🇨🇺🇰🇵🇪🇬🇮🇷🇮🇶🇰🇬🇱🇦🇳🇮🇻🇪
Stand for a transparent and equitable system of international information security based on the principles of the UN Charter, respect for the sovereignty of states and non-interference in their internal affairs.
We welcome the adoption of the Convention against Cybercrime at the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly, which became the first universal agreement achieved within the United Nations to counter the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) for criminal purposes and constitutes a necessary legal framework for international cooperation in preventing and combating certain crimes committed by means of information and communications technology systems and in ensuring timely collection and sharing of evidence in electronic form of serious crimes.
We commend the work accomplished by the ad hoc Committee to elaborate a comprehensive international Convention on countering the use of ICTs for criminal purposes established on the initiative of Russia and chaired by Algeria, and encourage all States to work in close manner to finalize the Rules of Procedure of the Conference of the Parties at their earliest opportunity.
We invite all States to sign the document at the upcoming ceremony in Hanoi in 2025 and call upon States to continue their engagement in the negotiations in accordance with the UN General Assembly resolutions 74/247 and 75/282 to negotiate an additional draft protocol that would address additional cyber-enabled crimes. Our common goal is to forge cooperation between the competent authorities of States Parties at the earliest convenience in order to counter the use of ICTs for criminal purposes in a comprehensive manner.
We assume that the next step should be to develop within the United Nations universal agreements on other aspects of the international information security, including stability in the ICT sphere. It is important to continue substantive discussions on this issue within the framework of the United Nations and other relevant organizations. In this regard, we support the adoption at the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly of a final decision on the establishment of the Permanent Mechanism on #ICT Security in the context of international security based on the principle of consensus and the leading role of States to replace the Open-Ended Working Group on Security of and in the Use of Information and Communications Technologies 2021–2025.
We condemn the use of ICTs for purposes inconsistent with maintaining international peace and security. We call for the peaceful use of ICTs and the non-use of such technologies to interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign States and destabilize the socio-political situation in other countries, as well as to violate national laws, including through low-orbit satellite communication systems and broadband Internet access.
🌐 We acknowledge the importance of strengthening international cooperation among States to ensure a solid and strong exchange of knowledge, expertise and best practices with an emphasis on building capacities of the developing countries in the field of ICT-security.
We reiterate the need for promotion, facilitation and provision of technical assistance, and transfer of technology for prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crimes committed through the use of ICTs.

🎙 Video address by President of Russia Vladimir Putin on 70th anniversary of Baikonur Space Centre (June 2, 2025)
💬 Mr. President Tokayev, Russian and Kazakh friends, employees and veteran workers of the Baikonur Space Centre.
I extend my heartfelt greetings on this momentous occasion, the 70th anniversary of the legendary Baikonur Space Centre.
It was on June 2, 1955, that a historic state decision marked the beginning of a unique rocket testing site in the Soviet Union – destined to become the world’s first spaceport.
Just a decade after the end of the Great Patriotic War, the multiethnic Soviet nation, having endured immense tragedy and devastating losses, achieved the remarkable. The Soviet people not only rebuilt cities and towns from the ruins and ignited powerful economic and technological progress, but also took a bold leap into the future, launching visionary and ambitious plans that opened the path to space, to the stars.
The creation of Baikonur, along with the entire space programme, stands as a true feat, a testament to courage, determination, and heroic spirit. We honour the monumental, selfless labour of the hundreds of thousands from all the republics of the Union who envisioned, designed, and built Baikonur, and who worked at the cosmodrome from its earliest days.
<...>
It was here, at Baikonur, that the countdown to a new era in human history began – where dreams took flight and became reality. From this very site, in 1957, the R-7 rocket carried the first artificial satellite into orbit, and on April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin launched from Baikonur to become the first human to journey around the Earth in space.
The history of Baikonur is rich with remarkable milestones. Among them are the pioneering flight of the first female cosmonaut, Valentina Tereshkova, in 1963; the launch of the world’s first manned orbital station, Salyut-1, in 1971; and the historic liftoff of the reusable spacecraft Buran in 1988. It was also from Baikonur that the Zarya module was launched in 1998, ushering in the construction of the International Space Station, which continues to operate in orbit to this day.
Baikonur has witnessed more than 2,500 launches and has sent over 200 cosmonauts into orbit. From its launch pads, representatives of numerous countries have embarked on space missions, many of them scientists conducting groundbreaking experiments and advancing both fundamental and applied research.
It is fitting that the space centre was named Baikonur, meaning “rich land” in Kazakh. Indeed, its contribution to international scientific and technological progress is immense, truly rich in every sense, and beyond measure.
Baikonur remains one of the largest and most advanced spaceports in the world. With a workforce of around seven thousand, this versatile complex plays an active role in the space programmes of Russia, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and numerous other countries.
🇷🇺🤝🇰🇿 Baikonur also stands as a powerful symbol of the strategic partnership between Russia and Kazakhstan. Dozens of treaties and agreements have been signed between our nations, governing all aspects of the cosmodrome’s operations and the administration of the city of Baikonur.
Baikonur stands as a vivid example of how cooperation and integration can serve the mutual interests of both Russia and Kazakhstan, enhancing their international standing and reinforcing their leadership in science, innovation, and various high-tech sectors.
Russia will continue to make significant efforts to support the development of the city of Baikonur and to ensure the wellbeing of its residents, both Russian and Kazakh citizens. The active operation of the space centre and the creation of favourable conditions for its continued use remain among our top priorities.
I wish you good health and continued success in advancing our national space industry and in strengthening the partnership between Russia and Kazakhstan.
Once again, please accept my heartfelt congratulations on this memorable anniversary.
