Disability does not mean incapacity. On the contrary, our fellow citizens with disabilities are a valuable productive force that has remained untapped. This concerns us all. We work hard to remove the obstacles in their way. The task is very difficult. But, with strategy, coordination and systematic work we will succeed” he assured in closing.
