V.V. Putin: Dear Alexander Grigorievich, good evening!
I am very happy to see you. Tomorrow we have a full work day, we will communicate with colleagues as part of the next CSTO meeting.
Of course, as always happens, we will talk about all aspects of our relations: economy, other issues of a humanitarian nature, security in the broadest sense of the word.
Our connection with you is constant and does not stop. Governments work almost on a daily basis. In any case, my colleagues in the government report to me that everything is developing in all areas, developing at a good pace.
We have an amazing volume of trade turnover, just amazing, there is no other way to say it. Problems related to investments and high technologies are being solved, which makes me very happy. That is, we are at the forefront, as they say, in solving all the problems that are considered a priority not only in our countries, but all over the world.
So let's move on.
I would like to thank you for your help in organizing humanitarian exchanges. We appreciate it very much. Many thanks to you and all your colleagues who do this and deal with it. thank you
