Holi, the celebration of sunshine and bright colors, has a long tradition. Mention of it can be found in ancient Sanskrit texts. In the 21st century, Holi has gone beyond the borders of your country and is now celebrated not only in India, but all over the world. The traditions of this wonderful holiday are supported by colorful rituals. Indians decorate themselves with bright fresh flowers, and the roofs of houses with small lights and orange flags. And, of course, the feeling of a holiday is given by multi-colored fountains of colors flying into the air, cheerful music and joyful faces.

Dear Sri Lankan friends! Dear Sri Lankan students!

Let me sincerely congratulate you on the national holiday - Independence Day of Sri Lanka!

75 years ago, your country gained political independence from British rule and since then has been steadily and actively developing in the political, social, economic, and humanitarian spheres.

Over the past years, Russia and Sri Lanka have been linked by warm, friendly relations based on mutual respect and strong contacts in politics and the economy, science and culture, education and healthcare. The Tver State Medical University is directly related to this fruitful cooperation, since for many years it has been training qualified medical personnel for the healthcare of Sri Lanka.
