The greeting reads, in part:

“It is significant that your jubilee meeting is taking place in the hero city of Volgograd, where people’s diplomacy gave birth to the twin cities movement.

By developing direct contacts between towns and cities, your movement is helping to expand Russian-German trade and economic cooperation, strengthen scientific and humanitarian ties, and create an atmosphere of good intent, tolerance and mutual understanding in our bilateral relations.”
