WATCH: Putin Welcomes President Prabowo Subianto At Kremlin, Indonesia Backs Russia

Mr. President, dear friends, first of all, I would like to thank you for accepting our invitation and coming to Moscow. Dear friend, I am very pleased that our contacts are of a regular nature and emphasize the special nature of our relations. We recently signed a declaration on this special nature, and it is indeed filled with specific content. The strategic nature appears, first of all, of course, in the economic sphere. Last year, our turnover grew by 12.5%. At the beginning of this year, unfortunately, there was some adjustment, but we are actively working on the commission's intergovernmental rights. I hope that your visit will also serve to find the necessary solutions so that our situation remains stable and demonstrates growth in the results of this year. Our colleagues on both sides and I have repeatedly drawn your attention to the most promising areas of cooperation. These are energy, space, agriculture, industrial cooperation, and pharmaceuticals. We attach great importance to the development of humanitarian ties, including in the sphere of culture and education. And, of course, our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working intensively in close contact with each other on all international platforms. Indonesia has become a full-fledged member of BRICS, and this is another opportunity for cooperation, as well as between Indonesia and the European Economic Union. Dear friend, we are very happy to inform you. Welcome to Russia.
