The message reads, in part:
"Radio has been both a popular and an important part of the media for many decades. And it is still in demand despite the advent of new information sources.
The invention of radio is itself a significant event in human history, and it has paved the way for progress in many areas. Radio has also contributed a lot to the modern technologies of mass communications.
Today, there is rapid development across the spectrum of media technology: in television, cellular communication and the Internet; this development requires a vast amount of intellectual and creative resources and strong technological capabilities. Russian specialists make a significant contribution to the improvement of communication's efficiency, the modernisation of the infrastructure and the active integration of Russian technology into the global sphere of information and communications."
