Prime Minister Vladimir Putin congratulates former and current oil and natural gas industry workers on their professional holiday

 
 
 

The message reads, in part:

"The Russian oil and gas industry largely supports the economic growth and enhances the country's industrial potential. Stable fuel prices, demand for advanced technologies and highly qualified personnel depend on the industry's effective performance. Major fuel and energy projects promote the development of the Russian regions and create new jobs.

"I have to note that you achieve significant results based on your amazing professional traditions. World class cutting-edge equipment is being introduced, new promising deposits are being explored and international projects are being implemented. It is crucial to keep up the pace."
