|
||
| WHEREAS, Leaders from the Kharkiv region in Ukraine are | ||
| visiting the State Capitol on February 26, 2013, to forge stronger | ||
| ties and greater understanding between our two great areas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Our guests here today include Kharkiv Governor | ||
| Mikhail Dobkin, Lieutenant Governor Yuriy Sapronov, and member of | ||
| parliament Victor Bondar; and | ||
| WHEREAS, A culturally and historically rich province in | ||
| northeastern Ukraine, the Kharkiv region leads industrial and | ||
| agricultural innovation in the country; the area has a wealth of | ||
| natural resources, primarily natural gas, as well as oil, coal, and | ||
| other important minerals, and has thus become a key fuel and energy | ||
| center of Ukraine; the Kharkiv region also boasts impressive | ||
| manufacturing, ranging from machine tool construction to radio | ||
| electronics to pharmaceuticals; moreover, because of its location | ||
| at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and its well-planned | ||
| infrastructure, it is a hub of international as well as national | ||
| trade, transportation, and communication; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Building on these economic advantages, the Kharkiv | ||
| region has also made important investments in education; the | ||
| province has over 200,000 students in more than 80 state and private | ||
| institutions of higher learning, and the region's medical | ||
| establishments employ and train many thousands of medical | ||
| professionals; in addition, the advances made in Kharkiv research | ||
| institutes have contributed to scientific progress around the | ||
| globe; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The citizens of Texas and the Kharkiv region share a | ||
| common entrepreneurial drive, and the visit of these leaders is an | ||
| excellent opportunity to develop connections and forge mutually | ||
| beneficial relationships between our two prosperous states; now, | ||
| therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby welcome Governor Mikhail Dobkin, Lieutenant | ||
| Governor Yuriy Sapronov, and Victor Bondar | ||
| to the State Capitol and | ||
| extend to them sincere best wishes for an enjoyable and productive | ||
| visit to Texas. | ||
