“It is pleasant that an intensive political season is opening in the Russian-American relations,” he said at the meeting. “Our telephone talk with President Bush is planned today, and I can pass to him the best wishes of his minister from Moscow,” Putin said. “It is very pleasant that that you have accepted the invitation and that President Bush reacted so quickly and sent you here,” he told Gates. A series of Russian-American contacts is ahead, Putin said. “Ms Rice is to come soon, then the president and I will hold a meeting at the G8 summit in Germany, and other meetings are planned, including within the framework of the Russia-NATO Council. I know that you also have a very full agenda in Moscow,” he said.
