Joint Conferences of Ukrainian American Organizations

Kuchma greets joint conferences

Below is the English translation of the text of a greeting from President Leonid Kuchma of Ukraine, sent on June 23 from Kyiv to the Joint Conferences of Ukrainian American Organizations. The Ukrainian-language message was read at the Joint Conferences banquet on Saturday evening, June 26.

With all my heart, I greet you on the occasion of this noteworthy event, which marks a significant step toward unifying the Ukrainians of the United States of America.

No matter what our everyday concerns, plans and hopes, we all have one common goal: to create a strong European state - Ukraine.

I especially would like to thank you for your active promotion of the development of the Ukrainian-American strategic partnership, which is an important guarantee of our successes on this path.

Please accept my most sincere wishes of success for these conferences, peace and harmony, creative energy and new achievements for the benefit of a democratic and blossoming Ukraine.

Glory to Ukraine!

Leonid Kuchma
