Congratulations to President of the United States Barack Obama on Independence Day

July 4, 2011

Dmitry Medvedev congratulated President of the United States of America Barack Obama on Independence Day.

The message reads, in part:

“Russian-US relations play a key part in maintaining global security and stability. Our countries have made substantial advances of late in developing constructive and mutually advantageous cooperation in a wide range of areas, from reducing strategic nuclear weapons, to working together on high technology and innovation.

We seek to build on the results of our meeting in Deauville in May and intensify our joint efforts to develop our bilateral relations. I hope that our upcoming contacts over the rest of this year, including your planned visit to Russia, will give us the chance to reach mutually acceptable decisions on a number of important issues, including matters that concern the interests of not just our countries but the entire world.”
