Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to the Republic of Ingushetia residents on its 30th anniversary
The message reads, in part:
“The formation of the republic was a big and truly historic event in the Ingush people’s lives and in strengthening Russia’s statehood. It is gratifying that you sincerely take pride in the generations of your compatriots who made a hefty contribution to enlarging the military and labour glory of our Fatherland and to preserving the richest cultural and spiritual heritage of our multi-ethnic Motherland. Most importantly, you are striving to resolve the demanding issues the region is facing.
I should note that recently new agro-industrial complex enterprises and facilities have been built, and the transport, construction and hospitality industries are on the rise. Today we must not stop at what has been achieved and keep working hard and persistently, give priority to attracting large investments to Ingushetia’s economy while implementing large-scale social and infrastructure projects, creating cutting-edge jobs, and increasing the quality of people’s lives.”
