Prime Minister Vladimir Putin congratulates sea and river workers on their professional holiday

print

The message reads, in part:

"Sea and river navigation is traditionally an important part of the country's transport system: it not only carries passengers and freight but it connects remote communities with large capital cities.

Today we count on sea and river transport workers to modernise Russia's sea and river facilities and use water routes efficiently to help resolve issues of social and economic development and the strengthening of interregional and international relations and trade.

I am sure that the glorious traditions, experience and professionalism of past sea and river transport workers will help you achieve these goals."
