The President of South Ossetia congratulated the diplomat on the Victory and Independence Day of the Republic of Abkhazia. "Today, our fraternal republic, the people of Abkhazia celebrate the main national holiday - Victory and Independence Day. We sent a congratulatory address to the fraternal republic. We would like to congratulate you on this significant day and ask you to convey our sincere wishes for goodness, peace and prosperity to all the people of the Republic of Abkhazia," said Alan Gagloev. The President of South Ossetia noted the close cooperation with the leadership and the Embassy of Abkhazia, and also expressed his determination for constructive and fruitful work.

"The South Ossetian side will always support the fraternal people. Please convey warm words of greeting to Aslan Georgievich and all the Abkhaz people," said Alan Gagloev.

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Abkhazia to the Republic of South Ossetia Alan Elbakiyev, in turn, thanked the President for the warm welcome, despite his busy schedule.

"The Abkhaz people celebrate the main state holiday - Victory and Independence Day. In Abkhazia, they say that without Victory Day there would be no Independence Recognition Day. In order for the hour of Victory to come, it was necessary to go through difficult trials.

The best sons of Abkhazia gave their lives for the freedom and independence of the republic. Among them were soldiers from the fraternal Caucasian republics and, of course, from South Ossetia. The brave sons of the South Ossetian state laid down their lives for the bright future of Abkhazia," the Ambassador noted.

Noting that, thanks to the joint efforts of the Presidents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Aslan Bzhania and Alan Gagloev, relations between the countries are at an incredibly high level, the diplomat expressed confidence that they will continue to develop dynamically for the benefit of the fraternal republics.
