Georgy Poltavchenko, Governor of Saint Petersburg
“The Arctic is our common house, so we must exploit this pantry of natural resources wisely and judiciously. The First Conference “Arctic - The Territory Of Friendship And Cooperation” has shown that countries of the Arctic Council are ready for an effective dialogue on the future of the region”.
Artur Nikolayevich Chilingarov, President of the State Polar Academy
“ Only understanding and mutual assistance should dominate in the Arctic. International scientific cooperation should last not for just one day, but at least have a decade perspective to make possible for us further research of the Arctic and its climate. And the Forum, where scientists meet, assists in doing that.”
