Dmitry Medvedev sends a message of greetings to Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on his assuming office.
The message reads, in part:
“Russian-Australian relations have been developing steadily over the past few years. I am confident that the further consolidation of our mutually beneficial cooperation in trade, investment, science and technology, as well as our joint projects in the peaceful atomic, innovative and economic modernisation spheres, meet the vital interests of the people of our countries.”
