President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Pashinyan,

It is a real pleasure to see you. I am delighted that we have this chance to connect on the sidelines of the events today and tomorrow.

We have a full agenda to get through after such a long time – bilateral, regional, and global issues. I have no doubt that our meeting will be as useful and substantive as our discussions always are.

It is good to see you, Mr Prime Minister.

Nikol Pashinyan: The feeling is mutual, Mr President. It is always a pleasure to see you and to speak with you.

And of course, our agenda is always a full one, and I am certain today will be no different. It is clear to see. I greatly value the strong partnership we have built and the dynamic dialogue we maintain – both personally and between our fraternal nations.

Vladimir Putin: Our teams are also in constant touch. My ministers keep me informed of their frequent trips to Armenia, and we regularly welcome your ministers here in Russia.

Nikol Pashinyan: That is very true.

Vladimir Putin: Shall we begin?
