In the absence of fundamental ideological differences, the United States and Russia should build partnerships based on equality and mutual respect.

Axar.az reports, citing TASS, the Russian embassy in Washington made the remarks in a statement marking U.S. Independence Day.

The embassy recalled Russia's support at various stages of American history and the "comradeship-in-arms during World War II.

"Nowadays, in the absence of principled ideological divides, while both our countries, led by leaders who have excellent personal chemistry, champion traditional values of family and religion, sovereignty and nation-state, as opposed to liberal-globalist "rules based order" that dominates modern Europe, Russia and the US could and should coexist constructively building on true, economically viable, mutually respectful and equal partnership."
