Madam Federal Chancellor, Dear Angela,
Please accept my heartfelt greetings and very best wishes for your birthday.
This date is an important milestone in your eventful life journey. Your life and activities in a transformative historic period has given you unique experience, repeatedly facing you with the need to make difficult decisions. These decisions revealed your best qualities as a person, policy-maker, and leader.
Currently, we are going through a historic moment of great complexity and tension which requires our two countries, Russia and Germany, and their leaders, to show a great sense responsibility. I hope that through joint efforts a way out of the current difficult situation will be found.
Dear Angela, I am in a hospital right now but hope that in autumn I will be able to resume more vigorous activity so that we could meet. I always highly value our meetings and discussions.
With best wishes of health, vigour, and every success,
Mikhail Gorbachev
