"I am deeply touched by your words of gratitude and respect. The sincerity in these lines shows that every child dreams of a clear blue sky and simple human happiness in their beloved home... I believe that thanks to talented and determined children with kind hearts and open minds like you, the Syrian state will have a bright future," Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Defense Ministry Alexander Chaiko read Mr. Putin's letter to the Syrian girl.

The little girl received gifts from the Russian President, which were a toy pigeon, a big teddy bear and a very pretty doll.

Eldar Kurbanov, Russia's special envoy to Syria, noted that the girl could become a diplomat in the future. "Her letter reached Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and the President replied to her. This is a very serious diplomatic job, she has all the potential. So when she grows up and wants to pursue a career in diplomacy, she will be successful," the Russian diplomat commented.

Iman Ali herself said that she really liked Moscow, the city she had the opportunity to visit not long ago. She expressed her gratitude to the Russian and Syrian soldiers who are fighting international terrorism on Syrian territory.

Iman Ali lives with her family in the city of Latakia. She is studying Russian at a local education center and says she loves Russia and its culture.
