“Dear George,

“In connection with Independence Day, I am sending you and the entire American people my sincere wishes of happiness and prosperity.

“The agreements reached during your official visit to Russia and confirmed at our subsequent meetings in Italy and Canada testify to the successful development of Russian-American relations in the spirit of partnership and cooperation.

“I am convinced that a solid base has been created for the further development of mutually advantageous cooperation between our countries and our joint struggle against global threats and contemporary challenges, for strengthening security and stability in the world.

“Only by uniting our efforts will we be able to find solutions to the most complicated problems facing not only Russia and the United States, but also the entire international community.”
