Russian Foreign Ministry posted today (May 9) and said: "President Putin's congratulatory letter to newly-elected Pope Leo XIV: I am convinced that the constructive dialogue and cooperation previously established between Russia and the Vatican will continue to develop, drawing on Christian values that unite us."

Cooperation based on Christian values between Russia and the Vatican can deepen mutual understanding between Russia and the Western Christian cultural circle.
