Traditionally friendly and fraternal relations are between peoples, civil solidarity, exemplary tolerance, and the Jewish community has its own special place. With a sense of satisfaction I want to note that Jewish people actively participate in the socio-political and cultural life of our country, which is currently experiencing a period of great development and progress, demonstrating an active role in the process of building the rule of law," reads the congratulatory letter.—06D-
