The talks were preceded by the official welcoming ceremony for the Russian President.
Mr Katsav met Mr Putin in the courtyard of his residence. An orchestra played the Russian and Israeli national anthems and the Presidents were greeted by a guard of honour.
The two heads of state then each made a short address and opened a monument to the victims of the Holocaust, presented as a gift to the President of Israel from the Russian President.
