Today our two nations are very close friends and allies, working together in strengthening the EU and NATO, sharing responsibility for regional security, and aiming for a Europe that is whole and free. Today our close partnership is being strengthened by concrete initiatives, infrastructure projects, economic and cultural cooperation, and people-to-people contacts.

I am certain that the bonds between our two countries will grow ever stronger,’ reads the Prime Minister’s letter.
