01:00My dear friend, it's indeed a pleasure to be here again and to continue the dialogue
01:05which is ongoing.
01:07The leaders meet annually and the last summit was here in Delhi in December last year.
01:16It was crowned by quite a number of important agreements, including the program until the
01:24year 2030, the program on strategic areas of our economic cooperation.
01:31The trade is almost 60 billion dollars, if we count in dollars, of course.
01:39And the goal which the leaders set for 2030 is 100 billion.
01:45And I have no doubt that this goal would be achieved.
01:48The Intergovernmental Commission, which you co-chair with Deputy Prime Minister Manturov,
01:56is actively functioning.
02:00And at all levels, the cooperation is based on sustained structures, which certainly is
02:10helpful for long-term planning and for achieving results.
02:14This includes foreign ministry to ministry cooperation, which we now emphasize by this bilateral meeting
02:26at the margins of the ministerial meeting of BRICS, which is going to take place tomorrow
02:31and the day after.
02:34We cooperate in the United Nations, of course, Shanghai Cooperation Organization, G20, which
02:45is becoming more important at the time when we have to find global answers to global problems.
02:54The problems are created not by all of us, but to resolve them, we have to join our efforts
03:01including in BRICS and in Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
03:06So I value very much this opportunity to touch base and to take a look at our bilateral and
03:14international matters on our agenda.
03:18As always, we enjoy the hospitality of our Indian friends.
03:22Thank you very much.
