Vladimir Putin met with Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano. The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 19th St Petersburg International Economic Forum.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Director General, colleagues, good evening,
I am very happy to see you again. I hope that the work within the framework of the St Petersburg International Economic Forum will be useful and interesting for you.
I know that you actively participate in its work and have already spoken on several platforms.
Russia works actively with the IAEA. Our state corporation Rosatom has a very serious package of orders for the next 10 years and it is one of the most active players on the market. We have a solid 40% share of the market in one of the most high-tech sectors – enrichment. You know like nobody else that we strictly comply with everything pertaining to non-proliferation, and work in close contact with the IAEA.
I am very happy to see you and for this opportunity to discuss current issues.
IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano (retranslated): Thank you very much, Mr President.
It is a great honour for me to be invited here as your guest. I arrived just yesterday, but I already had talks with Russia’s Foreign Minister, Mr Lavrov, and participated in a session within the framework of the St Petersburg Economic Forum.
I want to say that Russia is one of the IAEA’s most important partners, and I am very happy for the opportunity to discuss with you certain current issues and other problems that may be of mutual interest.
