Dear colleagues of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Dear citizens,

On March 1, the World Civil Defense Day is observed, symbolizing the crucial mission of states in ensuring the safety of their citizens.

The day has a special meaning, emphasizing the irreplaceable role of civil defense in our country, particularly in the context of enhancing the level of population protection. The Ministry of Internal Affairs remains committed to the continuous development of the civil defense system, focusing on strengthening both security and institutional capacities.

As an integral component of national security, civil defense plays a key role in ensuring our state's resilience.

In today's reality, achieving a high level of public safety is impossible without each citizen recognizing their responsibility in this mission. This awareness is the foundation of a strong civil defense system. A culture of security must become a way of life: this is the key to success.

On this important occasion, I extend my congratulations to all those whose dedication and hard work have contributed to the formation and advancement of the civil defense system.

I also congratulate those who are newly joining the system, fully understanding its vital role in our society.

May your professionalism, responsibility and dedication continue to drive the stable development of the civil defense system, strengthening the resilience of our nation.
