The message reads, in part:
"Within a relatively short time, the forum has become a tradition and has earned the reputation as a competent and representative format for in-depth discussions on the current state of the environment. It is important to consider natural conservation along with the development of energy-saving technology. Encouraging international collaboration and enlisting the assistance of the leading experts, scientists and politicians from around the world is also a critical component of the forum.
I am confident that successful discussions within the Congress will contribute to environmental protection at both the national and international levels".
