The telegram reads, in particular:
“For the past 50 years this organisation has played a crucial role in developing multifaceted cooperation with the peoples of Africa and Asia. This tradition of partnership and solidarity developed during the years of their just struggle against colonialism, for nation states, and for progress.
In today’s world it is difficult to overestimate the value state diplomacy plays in helping resolve global and regional problems as well as expand bilateral ties. It is precisely public initiatives that help to significantly expand the horizons of cooperation in trade, economic, cultural and educational spheres, as well as allow these activities to become more dynamic and substantial.
I expect that the creative potential of ROSSNAA will continue to help implement much-needed joint projects as well as strengthen trust and mutual understanding between peoples.”
