Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov on his 45th birthday.
The message reads, in part:
“Under your leadership, Turkmenistan continues to successfully advance along the path of socioeconomic development and to enhance its standing on the world stage.
We deeply appreciate your efforts to further consolidate the relations of comprehensive strategic partnership between our countries. We will, of course, continue our close cooperation on current issues on the bilateral and international agenda – for the benefit of the friendly peoples of Russia and Turkmenistan, and in the interests of safeguarding stability and security in Central Asia and the Caspian region.”
