I express my gratitude to each of you for creative labor, hard study, devotion to the chosen cause and contribution to the development of the University and our country.

I wish the coming year 2025 to be generous with new achievements, victories and breakthrough ideas; to present bright events and unforgettable impressions.

Strong health, peace and prosperity to all of us! Happy New Year!
