The President’s message reads, in part:

“Russia’s state security agencies play a very important part in guaranteeing our country’s security and sovereignty. Your competence, professionalism and personal courage are decisive factors in effectively combating terrorism, protecting the state’s borders, and fighting corruption and economic crime, and thus in ensuring stability in our society and reliably protecting our people’s rights and freedoms.

The state security agencies’ personnel have always been expected to meet the very highest standards. Today, you need to make even more effective use of new operations, technical and analytical possibilities to counter internal and external threats to our country.

I am sure that your professionalism and devotion to your work will continue to help guarantee Russia’s national interests and contribute to its steady and successful development.”
