The message reads, in part:

"You have made an invaluable contribution to protecting the country's foreign policy interests. You were the country's Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in Washington for more than two decades, which was one of the most complicated periods in the history of our relations with the United States.

"Your high professionalism and ability to delicately, yet persistently advocate the Soviet Union's stand during talks with the United States is textbook material for Russian diplomats.

"I wish you good health, prosperity and energy."
