00:00Dear, Kaushman Kimilevich, good evening.
00:22First of all, I want to thank you for finding the time to come,
00:25as we agreed, on a special state visit.
00:30I am truly delighted.
00:34Of course, we are in constant contact,
00:37but such formal matters are also important in interstate relations.
00:44Today, we will have the opportunity to sit down in an informal setting
00:47and discuss all matters of particular interest.
00:52And tomorrow, together with my colleagues,
00:54we will review the entire agenda of our bilateral relations and, of course,
00:58look to the future.
01:05Overall, I think we will finish the current year very well
01:08and will draw up plans for the near future and the longer term medium term.
01:11I am very glad to see you, welcome, thank you, dear Vladimir Vladimirovich.
01:20I am truly glad to see you too, and I would like, first of all,
01:24to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptionally warm welcome from literally the very first minutes.
01:29In Moscow, on this sacred soil, we have just discussed the protocol aspects.
01:39Indeed, from this perspective, what I saw and felt was truly astonishing and delightful,
01:52and I felt the warmth of the welcome here in the Russian capital.
02:05As for bilateral cooperation, it is a strategic partnership, an allied relationship.
02:09There is not a single area where we do not interact and work together.
02:20There are no serious problems between our countries.
02:25If they arise, which is natural, they are resolved through the efforts,
02:29first and foremost, of the heads of state and, of course, of government.
02:33Indeed, today, in an informal setting, we could exchange opinions.
02:48I have some thoughts and observations that I would be delighted to share with you as a senior colleague.
02:54Thank you very much, thank you, we have two parts.
02:58We will now simply lay down informally.
03:01Then I would like to invite you to sit there.
03:05Okay, let's have some coffee.
