Anna Kuznetsova, Children’s Rights Commissioner for the President of Russia
“For me, as the Children’s Rights Commissioner, it is important for the tasks specified in the Russian Decade of Childhood programme and in other documents to become real cases and products which will reach a specific child. I think it is more important than presentations, reports, figures, and diagrams. That’s why I would like to wish Mir Detstva good luck and expansion and so that what I saw today – beautiful toys, children’s goods, educational games, wonderful construction sets, and other goods for children – to be more affordable for every child.”
Ekaterina Bednova, Head of the Exhibition Operating Management of Expocentre AO thanked everybody who had been supporting Mir Detstva and CJF – Child and Junior Fashion over the years and emphasized that the organisers tried to make the exhibition and the supporting events as interesting as possible. The participants in the opening ceremony thanked Expocentre for its hospitality and organisation of wonderful trade shows, and congratulated on the 60th anniversary.
