Dear friends,
It is my pleasure to welcome the participants and guests of the Spasskaya Tower International Military Music Festival, all the people of good will, our friends and comrades, who meet once again under the banners of peace and cooperation on Red Square.
Transneft has been supporting the Festival for years. We are proud to be a part of this large-scale event and to see how our joint efforts with the Festival’s Committee and partners, the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, the Government of the City of Moscow, translate into a splendid and ambitious project, which is especially important and symbolic in the current situation.
This year, the multimillion audience is again looking forward to meeting military orchestras from different countries and continents. On behalf of Transneft, the Festival’s general partner, I thank the music bands for their good will and commitment to the Spasskaya Tower’s fundamental principle: to deliver a message of mutual respect, cultural exchange and equitable cooperation between peoples in the language of music.
I wish inspiration to the performers, and the best feelings and high emotions to the guests and spectators!
Nikolay Tokarev,
President
Transneft
