Dear Natalya Vladimirovna!

On behalf of the World Chess Federation let me cordially congratulate you on your re-election to the post of Governor of Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – UGRA.

Your considerable experience, purposefulness, your approach to the state matters and your high professionalism have brought you the deserved authority and respect in the chess world.

Dear Natalya Vladimirovna, once again, I would like to express my gratitude to you for supporting the chess movement not only in the region but also around the world. I am sure that the chess events will be held at the highest level as before on the hospitable UGRA land.
