The message read, in part:

“Please accept my sincere congratulations upon the successful conclusion of the 16th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party—a crucial event in the life of China, our neighbour and friend. Russia was pleased to see that the congress confirmed the stability and consistency of China’s foreign policy, including the line on strategic partnership with Russia—a policy to whose emergence and development you contributed immensely.

“I look forward to seeing you in Beijing. I am sure our talks will help to further increase our countries’ mutual understanding and partnership.”
