Mayor of Moscow Yu. M. Luzhkov’s address to the site visitors

Let me thank you for your being interested in the Moscow Friends Club and its activities.

The appearance of the new institution is a serious step to consolidating the Moscow City Government’s initiatives supporters represented by social, political, business and intellectual groups as well as ordinary people living in different parts of the world.

Being officially supported by the Moscow City Government and business community makes it possible for the club to draw attention of the potential partners to the future prospects of implementing large-scale international measures, which would help to form, develop and promote a positive image of Russia and its capital Moscow within the international community.

The club's mission is to unite authoritative people of our society, those who don’t treat Moscow and its place in history, and not only in the Russian history, but also the world history, with indifference. Those who traditionally support its initiatives, who don’t perceive the image of Moscow as an empty sound, those who are ready to render effective assistance with their authority, good credit, organizational support for realization of new ideas, projects and initiatives of the City of Moscow.

You are all friends of Moscow. I sincerely hope that by common efforts we will be able to realize our plans for the welfare of Moscow.

Sincerely Yours,
