Welcoming his compatriots, the Head of State noted that he was glad to see them on their native land on this main holiday for all Abkhazians, wherever they may live.

"Connection with our diaspora is of special importance to us." Wherever we live, we have one Motherland, a common history, and common roots. "We must all together build and strengthen our independent Abkhazian state," emphasized Badra Gunba.

The President congratulated the guests on the anniversary of the Victory in the Patriotic War of the Abkhazian people, expressed gratitude for preserving national traditions, language, and culture outside their historical homeland, and wished them peace and prosperity.
