Meeting with President of Laos Thongloun Sisoulith

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr President, friends, I am delighted to see you.

I recently met with your Vice President on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. Today we have an opportunity to continue that dialog, that conversation.

We in Russia know you as a reliable friend. Actually, you and I were university students in Leningrad at almost the same time, during the same years. I was there during the same period as you.

To be continued.
