The message said, in part:

“Russia highly praises the traditions of friendship and trust that our peoples have shared for centuries. This firm foundation is a guarantee of steady and dynamic development of bilateral relations, strategic partnership and respect for each others’ interests.

“I am confident the implementation of the agreements reached during our meeting in Samarkand will promote Russian-Uzbek multi-faceted cooperation, as well as stability and security in Central Asia.”
