President Vladimir Putin sent messages of congratulations to Indian President Abdul Kalam and Prime Minister Manmoham Singh on the occasion of the country's national holiday – Independence Day

August 15, 2005

The messages read, in particular:

“Russia and India are united by close national interests and a commitment to the ideals of peace and progress and this creates a solid foundation for the ever-strengthening relations of our strategic partnership.

Russia values its friendly relations and constructive cooperation with India. These are ties that are developing rapidly based on the principles of strategic partnership and mutual benefit.

I am sure that Russian-Indian cooperation in such a diverse range of areas will continue to strengthen for the benefit of our countries and in the interests of ensuring stability and security in the world”.
