Excerpts from the transcript:
Dmitry Medvedev: Mr President, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome! I am happy to meet you. We spoke once on the phone in October 2010. It has been a long time since then and I am glad you are visiting Russia as the President of Sudan for the first time.
Last year, Russia and Sudan marked 60 years of diplomatic relations, which are based on a very strong foundation. Yesterday, you held talks with President Putin in Sochi. I would like to point out once again that the Republic of the Sudan is an important partner for Russia among the Arab and African countries. In the past years, Russia’s relations with the countries in the region have intensified. Our governments can also make a contribution to expanding our relations. Next month, the intergovernmental commission is meeting in Khartoum to discuss current issues. Today we are signing a substantial portfolio of documents, including two intergovernmental agreements, one on civilian nuclear power industry and another on visa-free travel for holders of diplomatic passports.
Once again, welcome, Mr President. I hope your visit to our country will be productive.
