At this point, all our actions are directed at protecting our citizens in every possible way, preserving people's health, ensuring favorable and safe working conditions for them.
One of the state's main goals has been and will remain creating an opportunity for everyone to work on their own soil, creating material, cultural and spiritual values, thus contributing to both their families' prosperity and welfare and development and strengthening of our homeland.
Dear compatriots,
I congratulate all of you once again and wish peaceful and creative work”.
