"I have confidence that under your leadership the new Federal Government will continue to strengthen the strategic partnership between Russia and Germany and expand our mutually beneficial cooperation in politics, trade, the economy, science, technology, culture, and other areas.

"I appreciate our good personal relations and I am willing to continue to actively cooperate with you on important bilateral and multilateral projects. I will be happy to meet with you in both Moscow and Berlin."
