The Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, His Holiness Kirill, on Tuesday congratulated US president-elect Joe Biden over his election victory, five weeks after the US presidential election was held.
In his letter, the Russian Patriarch, among others, notes that “…The modern world needs great stability and security, for the development of constructive cooperation between states, aimed at solving problems such as extremism and terrorism, local war conflicts, economic justice, environmental protection. I am convinced that the interaction of our states and peoples, based on historical experience, can make an important contribution to the search for effective answers to the international challenges of the modern age.”
His Holiness added that the Russian Church considers interfaith and intercultural dialogue as an important tool for strengthening mutual respect and good neighborliness, stressing “…We stand ready to work together in this area with the US authorities.”
