The message reads, in part:

Since it was founded, the New Economic School has become a respected centre for training highly skilled economic and financial professionals. It offers modern programmes of tuition and teaching models set in line with international standards. The government and the business world hold great value in the research potential of the New Economic School, whose graduates are highly sought after by the leading corporations, universities, government agencies and international organisations.

The success of modernisation policy today depends to a large extent on the quality of economic education and the accuracy and reliability of experts' forecasts. I hope that you will continue to contribute your knowledge and professionalism to the fulfilment of Russia's priority development tasks and the country's effective integration in the global education and research environment.
