Congratulations to Nicolas Maduro on his re-election as President of Venezuela

The message reads, in part:

"Russia-Venezuela relations are a strategic partnership. I am confident that your actions as the head of state will further contribute to the steady development of this partnership in all areas. This is fully aligned with the interests of our allied nations and follows the goal of building a more just and democratic world order.

I would like to reaffirm our commitment to continue our constructive cooperation on important bilateral and international matters. Please remember that you are always a welcome guest on Russian soil."
