This year was no exception. Children’s Day is our day of joy.  Having children is happiness; they are our future and the most valuable in our lives. They must be healthy and educated as they are our hope and faith, our future.

We all wish children to have careless childhood and reach their goals. They must be our worthy substitutes, the builders and developers of our country.  Here in this hall are future Olympic champions, generals and scientists. I want to thank pedagogues who spare no energy and effort for children’s education and upbringing. I wish peace to our country and health to our children. May the Lord bless us,” the ANOC president said.
