The message reads, in part:

“Welcome to Samara! Congratulations on the 20^th anniversary of the Ot Vinta International Festival.

The first exhibition of children’s and youth’s scientific and technical creativity, held in 2005, marked an impressive and timely initiative that captured the genuine interest of society and young people. It received wide support from businesses and educational institutions. Over the past decades, this festival has evolved into a truly unique educational project that extends far beyond our country, bringing together talented children from around the world who are inspired by bold and innovative ideas.

It is truly gratifying to see how the festival continues to grow, enhancing its intellectual and creative potential. Notably, your traditional gatherings carry important practical meaning, helping young inventors and researchers to exchange ideas, discover their strengths, and build lasting connections with peers and like-minded individuals for future collaborative work.

Let me once again extend my warmest greetings on the anniversary. I expect that the current festival will be a great success and will serve as a platform to inspire the next generation of engineers, designers, and scientists.”
