Beginning of a Meeting with former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger

June 17, 2008

The Kremlin, Moscow

President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev: Dear Mr Kissinger!

I am glad to have this opportunity to become acquainted with you and to talk about topical issues and the development of the Russian-American dialogue, all the more so because you have done so much to facilitate it.

I am thinking in particular of the work that you were involved in with our American and Russian colleagues in a special forum, the Russian-American working group ”Russia – USA: Looking to the Future“ [on the American side the group was headed by Henry Kissinger, on the Russian by Yevgeny Primakov].

We can discuss the most important issues currently facing us.

Henry Kissinger: Mr President!

For me it is a great privilege to become acquainted with you.

I have had an opportunity to observe the development of relations between Russia and America, and I have watched with great interest the events that preceded your assuming the presidency, and those policy statements that you have already made.

I wish you every success. It is important both for Russia and for the whole world.
