Speech at ceremony for presenting letters of credence
President of Russia
Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
I warmly welcome all of you
at the ceremony for presenting letters of credence here in the Kremlin.
You have been entrusted
with an honourable and at the same time responsible mission – to represent your
states in Russia. We proceed from the premise that you will be proactively involved
in dealing with all kinds of matters relating to political dialogue, trade and economic ties, cultural and humanitarian exchanges, and people-to-people
contacts.
The situation in the world is currently challenging, with many disagreements that seem
irreconcilable at times and often hinder normal productive cooperation between
states. However, I would like to hope that the activity of your embassies will
help to foster cooperation between our countries. You may rest assured that all
of your initiatives and proposals that are in line with this endeavour will
have the support of both Russian officials and our business and public circles.
To be continued.
