President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Japarov, friends, colleagues,
We are very pleased to see you in Moscow, all the more so since you have come just ahead of Victory Day. It is symbolic
that you are with us at this time.
We know very well and remember that
360,000 Kyrgyzstanis went to fight on the frontlines, and a little less than
half, I believe, 134 000, did not return.
I know that you have been to Rzhev with
the State Duma Speaker where you laid flowers and honoured the memory of those who
fell and who fought on this part of the frontline.
As for our current relations, they
are on the rise. Our trade increased 37 percent last year. Russia is Kyrgyzstan’s
biggest investor, ranking first in terms of direct investment. I am confident
that this trend will continue to gather momentum.
I am pleased to have this
opportunity to begin our working meeting and discussion in this expanded format. Once again, we are very pleased to see you.
Happy Victory Day! Welcome!
To be continued.
