Уважаемые коллеги! Сегодня начинает работу Международный полицейский конгресс в Шри-Ланке, в нём примут участие делегаты из 69 стран мира, в том числе и российская секция во главе с вице-президентом, председателем комиссии по международным связям Игорем Вяткиным.

Thousands of kilometers away from Russia, our delegation will defend the honor not only of the organization itself, but by and large — of the country. It is no coincidence that line of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs showed great understanding of the significance of this trip to the Asia-Pacific region, considering our letter regarding support.

We chose this path — long and difficult, understanding what it means for us to be in the ranks of the world's only police association. It was a time when most Russian organizations were blocked in "batches", only a few remained — we are among them, we stood our ground, made our way through, albeit with losses, but we are in the ranks, this is important.

The police world supports us, but there are forces that cannot rest... It is with them that our delegation will have to wage a serious "fight", we are ready for this. These days we will support the spirit of the team standing on the front line of the struggle of ideologies.

Let us wish our colleagues success in their work on the margins of the Congress in the city of Colombo. We are together!
