Dear Builders,

I warmly congratulate you on your professional holiday – Building-trade
worker day. This is a good opportunity to speak about your achievements
and problems, as well as to refer to future plans and programs.

I would like to underscore that as one of most dynamically
developing sectors, construction is a core branch of the national
economy. The Government highlights the design and implementation of
urban development programs targeting the sustained development of
populated areas countrywide, with "green engineering" being at the
heart of the home urban development efforts.

Owing to your contribution, new original and durable buildings are
being erected in the capital, while you may realize the importance of
ensuring favorable living and working conditions for our citizens
outside the capital either in terms of addressing the regional
development disproportions and achieving sustainable development for
all settlements throughout the country.

We will have to carry out important programs in the earthquake zone
where we intend to solve the housing problem of homeless families based
on the public-private sector partnership principle. The Government
will keep enhancing the quality of design and construction work in the
disaster zone, the capital city and other settlements of the Republic
through modernized engineering technologies and closer adherence to
international standards.

Dear Builders, I am confident that together with you we will succeed in
addressing all of the foregoing issues so as to offer to our citizens
and the emerging generations beautiful, convenient and up-to-date
habitations as part of the national architectural patrimony.

You have the mission of creating ever-lasting values, and I wish you
every success and inexhaustible energy.
