PUTIN AND KISSINGER TO MEET FOR 'FRIENDLY DIALOGUE'
Source: Newsweek
Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in Moscow, as the two have apparently kept in close touch through the years, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
German-born Kissinger served as national security advisor and later as secretary of state in the administrations of Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. He has since published numerous books on political science and has been repeatedly welcomed to the White House to discuss politics with subsequent presidents and secretaries of state.

Peskov said in his daily press brief that the two would meet on Wednesday as part of a “longstanding friendly dialogue,” state news agency RIA Novosti reports.

Today friendly dialogue between Putin and Kissinger will continue in Moscow," Peskov said, adding that they have long-lasting relations and always keep in touch. "Putin praises this opportunity to discuss current issues of foreign policy and opinion exchange on the prospects for further developments," Peskov said.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, on Wednesday Putin will hold talks with Horst Seehofer, the prime minister of the German federal land of Bavaria. "It is an important meeting to continue the dialogue with German partners paying special attention to trade and economic relations," he said, adding that despite all the restrictions and a number of downfalls in Moscow-Berlin ties "economic relations are of great importance for Russia and other foreign trade partners of Germany."
