Dmitry Medvedev: We consider Greece our important and promising partner. I suggest that we go over economic issues one more time.

Alexis Tsipras: I had a very substantive meeting with President Putin yesterday. We laid down the foundations for a new dawn of relations between our two countries. Our relations have deep roots and are steeped in friendship and brotherhood, but still we felt that they would benefit from an additional boost. We discussed the possibility of our cooperation in a number of industries, such as energy, tourism and trade. We are confident that our ideas in this area will bring sound results, and we will be able to successfully hold the Year of Russia in Greece and Year of Greece in Russia in 2016. We are prepared to create the proper conditions for stability not only in our respective countries, but also in the entire region.
