Speech content:

Dear friends! 

This is a complex, unusual, and anxious moment, China is at a critical juncture to fight the COVID-19 epidemic. And there are closest friends, old acquaintances and colleagues of mine in China. I want to say: I am with you, and TASS is with you! I especially want to say that I have many friends in Hainan,I won't enumerate their names here.Because every Hainanese is a good friend and comrade to me and to us far away in Moscow! Stay Strong! We are all with you! I believe you can overcome all pains, obstacles and difficulties!

Just as the proverb goes, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”. We are sympathetic to all the anxieties, worries, fears and pains you have experienced.Now our friends are in trouble. We have great sympathy over the misfortunes you encountered. I want to express the confidence that you will surely overcome the difficulties! I recall often, and now especially, the words of Chinese president Xi Jinping said after his election as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China: “There are no insurmountable problems.” Yes, I want to say again, you will surely overcome the hardships! And we are with you! Good luck and take care of yourselves!

Marat Abulkhakin
