Vladimir Putin sent greetings to Russian geologists and the sector’s veterans on their professional holiday.
The message reads, in part:
“Prospectors and scientists, engineers and miners, lecturers at specialised universities and representatives of many other careers are celebrating this professional holiday. All of you share a dedication to your chosen professions, a commitment to the wonderful traditions of your predecessors, who were bold trailblazers, and a sincere aspiration to work for the benefit of Russia and its people.
Today, the sector is facing large-scale and pressing tasks, the efficient resolution of which will largely determine the country’s socioeconomic development, the strengthening of its industrial, energy and defence potential, as well as and the enhancement of people’s quality of life. I want to emphasise that we have much to be proud of. In 2023 alone, dozens of new mineral deposits were discovered, facilitating the production of essential strategic mineral resources. Moreover, we are actively engaged in ambitious projects in the Arctic and on the continental shelf.
I am confident that you will continue to work and achieve maximum possible results, to prioritise the widespread adoption of energy-saving and environmentally friendly technologies, to set ambitious objectives and achieve success.”
