PLEASE accept sincere greetings on the occasion of the national holiday of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar—Independence Day.

WE are satisfied to note the positive dynamics of Russia-Myanmar relations, which are characterized by traditional friendship and mutual understanding. We look forward to consistently promoting confident political dialogue and contacts between our foreign ministries under the agreements reached during our talks in Nay Pyi Taw in August 2022. I am convinced that strengthening multifaceted cooperation meets the core interests of the peoples of our countries, and contributes to maintaining peace and security in South-East Asia and the Asia-Pacific Region as a whole. I wish you and all your colleagues in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Myanmar good health and success.
