July 4, 2012

Vladimir Putin congratulated President of the USA Barack Obama and all Americans on Independence Day.

In his telegram, President Putin noted the new opportunities that have emerged over recent years for steadily developing Russian-American relations, and expressed confidence that, based on the principles of equality, non-interference in domestic affairs, and mutual respect for each other’s interests, the two countries would achieve big results in their cooperation.

Mr Putin gave a positive assessment of his meeting with Mr Obama in Los Cabos, where the two leaders reiterated their desire to continue advancing Russian-US cooperation in a broad range of areas, including trade, economic and investment ties, and also continue their dialogue on other issues in the interests of maintaining international security and stability.
