Vladimir Putin met with Prime Minister of Germany’s federal state of Bavaria Horst Seehofer. Mr Seehofer is in Moscow on a working visit at the invitation of Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Prime Minister, colleagues, let me wish you a warm welcome to Moscow.
I am very pleased to see that our business relations with Germany’s regions are continuing and that German regions have intensive contacts with regions here in Russia.
I want to thank Moscow’s Mayor for inviting you. We have a special relationship with Bavaria: we have very strong trade and economic ties, and Bavaria accounts for 20 percent of total Russian-German economic ties.
There are 1,600 companies with Bavarian participation working here in Russia. They are represented in practically every sector, in electronics, engineering, the construction industry and more. Fifty percent of the Germany’s investment projects in Russia are of Bavarian origin. You are therefore a special guest here, and we are very pleased to see you.
