Dear Badra Zurabovich,

plese accept my cordial congratulations on the occasion of Victory and Independence Day 

This glorious holiday is a symbol of strength, courage and the unity of the people of Abkhazia, who defended their legitimate right to a free and peaceful life.

Russian-Abkhaz relations are friendly and allied in nature. 

I am confident that they will continue to be strengthened for the benefit of our peoples, in the interest of ensuring regional stability and security.

Russia will continue to actively assist its Abkhaz partners in resolving current issues of state-building and socio-economic development.

I wish you health and success, and happiness and well-being to all citizens of Abkhazia.
