President Vladimir Putin sent a message to US President George W. Bush

May 22, 2003

The message underlines Russia’s readiness to develop cooperation with the United States in all areas. Russian-American strategic partnership is in the interests of the entire international community because it promotes global stability and security. In relations between Russia and the United States, the president writes, “there is more substance that unites us than issues on which differences of opinion remain.”

The message reaffirms the readiness to continue the discussion of topical issues of bilateral relations during the upcoming Russian-American summit in St. Petersburg.

The President’s message was passed to President Bush in Washington by the visiting Russian Defence Minister, Sergei Ivanov.
