I am pleased to meet you again.

It is a good opportunity for us to compare notes and exchange opinions on our bilateral relations and, most particularly, our efforts to stop the bloodshed in Sudan.

Russia is always ready to help. Your opinion and assessment of the current situation is instrumental for us.
