`Please accept my congratulations on your election as president. I think that your vast experience will contribute to peace and prosperity in your state. Russian and Georgians are the nations of one confession, which makes us closer, but neither Georgia nor our Church will ever stand separation of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali Region from our native land. We think that despite all difficulties, restoration of kind relations between Georgia and Russia is quite possible but only in case the historic truth celebrates. We believe that one day Georgia`s territorial integrity will be restored, but it will be better if this happens during your presidency. We wish you health and prosperity to your country,` His Holiness said in the letter.
