President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Colleagues, good afternoon.

Today we are scheduled to discuss international cooperation in defence and security.

We have agreed many times that it is impossible to effectively resolve certain problems in this area alone and that we need to join forces with our partners in order to ensure our own security as well.

Let us get started.
