[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated President-elect Joe Biden on his victory.


The Kremlin announced on the 15th (local time) that President Putin sent a congratulatory message to President-elect Biden regarding his election victory.


According to the Kremlin, Putin stated in the message, "I wish success to President-elect Biden and am confident that Russia and the United States, which bear special responsibility for international security and stability, can make a practical contribution to resolving many of the problems and challenges facing the world despite their differences."


President Putin also added, "Cooperation between Russia and the U.S. based on the principles of equality and mutual respect will be in the interest of both our peoples and the entire international community," and said, "I am ready to cooperate and engage with you."



After the announcement of the U.S. presidential election results last month, while leaders of major countries consecutively congratulated President-elect Biden, President Putin did not join the congratulatory chorus. President Putin and the Kremlin maintained the position that it was premature to congratulate Biden’s victory since the final vote count of the U.S. election had not been completed and President Donald Trump’s legal challenges were ongoing.
