Greetings on the opening of the 17th Spartakiad of federal government bodies of the Russian Federation

The message reads, in part:

"More and more people in our country are choosing a healthy and active lifestyle, supporting and developing the traditions of mass fitness movement. After all, sport builds character, teaches resilience and helps us achieve our goals.

Today, one of our key priorities is to ensure that sport is accessible to people of all ages and professions, especially young people. Without a doubt, your Spartakiad is one of the most successful projects in this area. Over the years, it has significantly strengthened its positive impact, bringing together officials from various ministries, agencies, and the prosecutor's office.

I am confident that this year's competitions will be held at a high organisational and creative level, delighting participants and spectators with great victories and triumphs. They will also contribute to strengthening professional and personal connections, enhancing corporate culture, and promoting mass sports in Russia."
