Sergey Katyrin President Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation

On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation I would like to welcome the participants, visitors and organizers of the Moscow International Family Festival – MBA – Mother and Baby Academy`2012!

The Moscow International Family Festival – MBA – Mother and Baby Academy'2012 is a relevant and socially important event that addresses the challenges of our time and deals with the key issues of the federal family policy aimed at demographic improvement in Russia, birth rate increase, improvement of maternal and child health.

I believe that the Festival will contribute to creation of a favorable environment in Russia for raising families’ material standard of living, revival of family prestige, strengthening of family values and traditions characteristic for this country. It will also provide an important impetus to positive changes in the material and cultural environment to the benefit of children.

I wish you every success!

Sergey Katyrin President Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation
