Kremlin very satisfied with Russian-Greek talks — Putin's press secretary

Greece has the willingness to continue cooperation in whatever circumstances

MOSCOW, April 8. /TASS/. Kremlin is very satisfied with the results of Wednesday's talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Dmitry Peskov, Putin's press secretary told reporters.

"The main thing is our Greek partners have the willingness to continue cooperation in whatever circumstances and Russia responds to their aspirations with mutuality," he said.

"The talks were really very encouraging, as our countries have a really multi-aspect cooperation," Peskov said. "All of that was spoken about and our common objectives were discussed."

"While in 2013 Russia was Greece's foreign trade partner number one, a tendency towards shrinkage of the trade volume began in the second half of 2014," he said. "Certainly, there is a task to level this tendency out because our trade has a great potential and we have appropriate projects to work at together."
