I confirm readiness to further deepen multifaceted relations of friendship and strategic partnership between the Russian Federation and the Arab Republic of Egypt,

Our countries have been traditionally linked by relations of friendship, trust and mutual respect. I am convinced this is a reliable basis for further developing Russian-Indian partnership, which serves the long-term national interests of the two countries, and is an important factor in ensuring international stability.

The Declaration on Strategic Partnership between India and Russia signed in October 2000 became a truly historic step. The developments in the first decade of the 21 century confirmed that it was a particularly significant and timely step.

Friendship is essentially a partnership.

Your partnership with Habitat is a lifelong commitment, it's a lifelong friendship.

I believe that this meeting, its ambiance, its friendship, its sense of partnership has created those right conditions for that partnership for the 21st century,
