Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

We have conducted very valuable negotiations and will continue them over breakfast.

We have stated our joint determination to make the weighty results in Russian-Italian relations reached in the last years become a stimulus for succession and further build-up of our partnership in various fields.

We have discussed the schedule of political contacts. The closest event is the meeting of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin with the President of the Council of Ministers of Italy Enrico Letta “on the fields” of the summit of the Group of Eight in Lough Erne next week. It will be the first contact at summit level after formation of the new government in Rome and will allow determining priority lines of movement ahead. Today we have also discussed the possibilities of conducting other meetings at summit level until the end of the current year, including the forthcoming next round of Interstate consultations under presidency of the President of the Russian Federation and the Prime Minister of the Italian Republic in Italy.  Full story
 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dear Antonio,

First of all, I would like to thank you for hospitality here in Rio de Janeiro. Rio is one of unmatched symbols of Brazil; you always feel the rhythm of your great country and your great people here.

We have a long-lasting friendship, and this friendship governs all our initiatives and plans approved at the level of presidents and embracing all the spheres of human communication, communication of countries, business, civil communities’ one can think of. Our agenda is very substantial. It is based on trade, economic and investment interaction. Brazil is the largest partner of Russia in Latin America. Presidents of our countries set a task to bring the bilateral turnover of goods to 10 billion US dollars per year. This task is accomplishable, taking into account coordinated plans and those of them that are at the stage of reconciliation, in large projects in the field of nuclear energy and in other lines of the energy dialog. We have good leads in the field of space, in other high tech sectors. I am convinced that we will implement all the set tasks.

We will certainly not limit ourselves to the above mentioned fields. Antonio has already mentioned agricultural products and other types of products. We are interested that the turnover of goods grows in all its segments.   Full story
 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am very glad to be in Buenos Aires at the invitation of my colleague and friend Héctor Timerman. We thank our Argentinian friends for their hospitality, great organisation of work and the opportunity to meet the President of Argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

We had a detailed and trustworthy discussion of the entire spectrum of Russian-Argentinian relations, from bilateral to international, like all the countries lining up their strategic partnership relations do. We share the opinion that we need to significantly increase the turnover of goods that has reached good values. However, we wish more. Both parties have substantial interest in drastic growth of investments, primarily in high tech spheres.  Full story
