I extend warm greetings to the participants of the Plenary Meeting of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which takes place in Sochi under the chairmanship of the Russian Federation.
This year marked the 60th anniversary of the world's first human space flight. This heroic act by our fellow citizen Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin vividly demonstrates that humankind can effectively address most difficult and demanding challenges and pave the way toward new horizons of its development. It is important that outer space remains an arena for peaceful and safe cooperation.
Missile non-proliferation is one of Russia's foreign policy priorities. For a quarter of century, our country has been an active participant of the MTCR, pursuing a consistent policy to improve its efficiency.
We commend the efforts undertaken by our partners to develop multilateral dialogue on missiles and enhance national export control systems in a coordinated manner. Our common work to address major global security and stability issues is especially relevant today in these challenging times.
This Plenary Meeting has quite a comprehensive agenda. You are going to discuss a wide range of pressing issues related to enhancing missile non-proliferation regime in all its dimensions.
I hope you will have a fruitful discussion and wish you all the best.
