GREETINGS
I have pleasure to welcome all the participants of the NSS "Safe Capital" Forum!
In a situation where we constantly face problems that no country, no society, does not avoid: natural
cataclysms, man-made accidents and catastrophes, the threat of terrorist acts, new challenges of the present
- information risks - the need for modern effective methods and measures of protection against them is
more urgent than ever.
Improving inter-ethnic relations, work with young people, interfaith dialogue, use of the media, the
Internet community, strengthening civil unity on the basis of patriotism are some areas, which permit to
counter national and religious extremism.
The discussions that will take place within the framework of the Forum will allow to discuss a lot of
important problems, and I am sure, to find some ways to their solution. Particular attention should be paid
to the prospects of improving situational centers, creating smart city elements, as well as the problems of
interdepartmental interaction, the development of communal urban infrastructure, and one of the main
issues on the agenda is the development of security measures at the 2018 FIFA World Cup and other major
international sports, political, cultural events that will take place on the territory of our country.
I am sure that developed within the framework of the NSS "Safe Capital" Forum proposals on the
introduction of management systems for all types of risks, monitoring, receiving and processing citizens'
appeals, warning and informing the public, making and supporting decisions will be able to improve the
effectiveness of management, ensure coordination of actions of government officials, operational services
and non-state security structures.
