President Dmitry Medvedev offered his congratulations to new British Prime Minister David Cameron on Wednesday, saying ties between the two nations should improve, the Kremlin said.
“Russia views all-embracing cooperation and establishment of equal partnership with Great Britain as a major direction in its foreign policy, as well as a key factor in ensuring international security and stability,” the Kremlin quoted Medvedev as saying in a statement.
“I count on joint constructive work to further promote Russian-British relations for the good of our nations and solving the topical tasks of global politics,” he said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
