Nature has endowed women with beauty and inexhaustible energy, tenderness and devotion, life wisdom, amazing strength and patience. You keep your family’s hearth and work hard,” Minnikhanov addressed the audience in the hall.

It's a special and warm feeling. I am sure it is mutual. I want to thank you for your tireless work,” Minnikhanov added.
