Mayor of Kiev
Vitali Klitschko

Dear Vitali Vladimirovich!

I sincerely congratulate you on winning the elections to the local government agencies of Ukraine and your re-election to the position of the Mayor of Kiev.
Being one of the ancient centers of Slavonic culture and spiritual citadel of orthodoxy, Kiev also plays a key role in the modern European and World political life. Two thirds of Kievers, having voted for your candidacy by the results of the second round, paid tribute to your leadership qualities and gave a vote of confidence in the direction, which is carried out by your team.
I am confident that we will manage to build up the mutually beneficial cooperation in the implementation of chess in schools of Kiev and holding the prestigious chess tournaments from the official FIDE Calendar, which will undoubtedly contribute to strengthening the international image of the Ukrainian capital.
Dear Vitali Vladimirovich, I wish you success on your honorary and responsible position.

FIDE President
Kirsan Ilyumzhinov
