Congratulations from Marina Kovtun

Esteemed Mr. Miller!

On behalf of the Murmansk Region Government and my personal behalf I wish to cordially congratulate you and all the Gazprom’s employees on the 20^th anniversary of the Company.

Gazprom is a unique creation of human intellect, will and physical efforts, as huge and powerful as Russia itself. Being among the world’s largest companies, Gazprom is not only a driving force of the Russian economy, but is also a powerful geopolitical leverage and a forcible argument of Russia as one of the most influential countries in the world. With its remarkable success, Gazprom is not satisfied with what it has achieved, but relentlessly extends its sphere of influence, develops new fields and adopts state-of-the-art production technologies. It is Gazprom who will tap the untouched treasury of Russia – the northern seas shelf. It will mark a new era of the Russian Arctic development.

Thank you for the invitation to the anniversary celebrations. Unfortunately, due to a tight schedule of the Region’s Head I won’t be able to visit them.

I heartily wish health, happiness and good luck to you and your colleagues and further development and prosperity to Gazprom.

Marina Kovtun

Yours respectfully, Governor of the Murmansk Region
