On November 30, Roman Kopin, Governor of Chukotka Autonomous Region, sent a letter of support to former Alaska Governor Bill Walker.
“The government of Chukotka Autonomous Region confirms its readiness at any time to assist and support the residents of the State of Alaska. On behalf of myself, the Government of Chukotka and residents of the Okrug, I express our sincere sympathy to people affected by the earthquake. We wish all Alaskans strength, resilience and courage,” the Governor’s letter says.
Roman Kopin noted that there are friendly relations and close cooperation in various areas of social and political life between the regions.
