Your Excellency!
I sincerely congratulate You on the election as the President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
I am confident that being guided by You the PACE will continue protecting the values of democracy, human rights and the supremacy of law — the values that are the cornerstone of the modern Europe.
Today, the whole European community of nations is facing new challenges, in particular, the threats of international terrorism, migration crisis, violation of global security system fundamentals and breaching of the international law. As You know, our state is holding comprehensive reforms at the same time trying to overcome the aggression of the Russian Federation. Against this background, I would like to express my confidence that the cooperation between Ukraine and the PACE will further deepen and will finally lead to restoration of peace and territorial integrity of our country.
Let me take this opportunity to wish You sound health, inspiration, family happiness and new achievements in professional and civil activity.
Respectfully yours!
Volodymyr GROYSMAN
