Dear friends,

Greetings on the occasion of the opening of the Rehabilitation – Accessible Environment international exhibition which is being held for the third time in our country.

The exhibition showcases state-of-the-art achievements in the treatment and rehabilitation of people with disabilities and programmes to create a barrier-free environment for them. This year the forum's business programme will be complemented by an outstanding festival of creativity.

I hope that the exhibition will foster constructive cooperation between non-profit organisations of people with disabilities and government bodies in the interest of resolving socially important issues.

I wish you success and all the best.

Dmitry Medvedev
