“You and I maintain constant contact on the whole and, it seems to me, it never stops. The governments work almost on a daily basis. In any case, colleagues from the government report on all areas. Everything develops. It develops at a good pace. We have an astonishing volume of trade turnover. There is no other way to phrase it. Issues relating to investments and high technologies are being addressed,” Vladimir Putin said.
“You and I are the spearhead of accomplishing all the tasks, which are considered priority ones not only in our countries but the entire world. We will continue advancing like that,” the Russian president stressed.
The Russian leader noted that the meeting with the Belarusian counterpart was taking place on the eve of a Collective Security Treaty Organization summit, which will take place in Moscow on 11 November. “Tomorrow we have a full working day. We are going to talk to our counterparts within the framework of the next CSTO session. Understandably, as it always happens, we will discuss all aspects of our relations: the economy, humanitarian matters, and security in the broad sense of the word,” he added.
The heads of state met at the Novo-Ogaryovo state residence in Moscow Oblast. Vladimir Putin invited Aleksandr Lukashenko to his home for supper after the meeting.
