The meeting between Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan began with expanded talks involving members of their respective delegations.
It was noted that relations between Russia and Turkiye are developing steadily across all areas. The comprehensive and diversified nature of Russian-Turkish cooperation, particularly in trade and the economy, allows to withstand international challenges and pressure from third countries.
A number of major joint projects remain on the agenda, foremost among them the continued construction of the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant.
A detailed discussion on Ukrainian, regional, and international issues also took place. Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed European attempts to seize Russian assets, and the President of Russia reiterated his well-known assessment of these efforts. The parties agreed that such ill-considered actions by European states would effectively lead to the collapse of the Bretton Woods system and the underlying principles of the international financial system.
Russian-Turkish talks continued in a restricted format. Prime Minister of Pakistan Shahbaz Sharif later joined the meeting.
