"I wish you every success for the XI All-Russian Forum on Territorial Strategic Planning. Your theme on “Potential for Integration” is very important, as we seek together to address the challenges of a globalised world, as well as working together to make the most of its opportunities. This is particularly crucial in the Baltic Sea Region, where so many issues from environment to innovation links are best handled in good cooperation. We look forward very much to good outcomes from your discussions, in which our colleagues will be taking active part, and look very much forward to reading the reports and conclusions you will produce. With very best wishes, Colin Wolfe"
