Vladimir Putin sent a message of congratulations to Italian President Carlo Azeglio Ciampi on the occasion of the national holiday of Italy — Republic Day

June 2, 2005

The message reads:

“It is with great satisfaction that we note the positive dynamic of Rusisan-Italian relations, which in recent years have become a genuine partnership. Along with constructive political dialogue, mutually beneficial trade and economic cooperation and cultural and humanitarian ties are developing. A clear sign of this was the exhibition “Russia-Italy. Through the centuries” which drew major interest in Rome and Moscow. I would also like to note the successful start of work of the Forum for dialogue of civil societies.

I am sure that fruitful cooperation between Russia and Italy in bilateral affairs and on the international stage will continue to help in building a united Europe, and forming a just, safe and stable system of international relaitons.”
