Speech
at gala reception devoted to seeing in the 2018
President
of Russia Vladimir Putin: Colleagues, friends,
I am
happy to welcome you as we approach the New Year 2018.
Today
everyone has a lot of pre-holiday concerns. We are trying
to complete urgent tasks and observe the review schedule.
This
holiday has its own New Year’s challenges and commotion as well
as good traditions. We are following them with the hope
and belief in the best things.
Each
of you, every family has had its own record in the outgoing
year. Some people will consider it successful whereas for others it was
not easy. For them, it has been a year of overcoming
difficulties.
But
I am sure that each of us has tried to fulfil his goals, do
something good for the country, for people around, for our
families, and for those who are near to us and who need
help and support.
The road
to achieving a goal and attaining a result,
for progress and preparedness to be useful always means
development, gaining experience and knowledge, and displaying
persistence and resolve, courage and responsibility.
Those
who have gathered here today are displaying these very qualities
and helping achieve our common goals – the prosperity
of Russia and our people.
I am
sincerely grateful to you for your honest, professional work,
successes in government service, on the battlefield,
in public affairs, business and creative endeavours.
Let
us remember the outgoing year as yet another important stage
in our life. We are bidding farewell to it, understanding that many
new concerns, tasks and ambitious plans lie ahead. I am convinced
that we will achieve success by all means and resolve even
the most complicated challenges. Everything is in our hands
and everything depends on us alone!
Please
accept my sincere greetings on the coming New Year 2018.
I wish you and your families and friends good health
and energy, and a striving to reach new goals.
Allow
me to offer a toast.
To the wellbeing
and prosperity of the people of Russia!
To our
Motherland!
To Russia!
Happy
New Year to you!
