Putin: Germany remains Russia’s key partner

Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted on Friday that Germany is still viewed in Kremlin as one of Moscow’s key partners, both in terms of economy and politics.

Putin delivered remarks after his meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, asserting that the trade between the two countries has increased despite the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Our two countries are cooperating and developing joint projects in industry, agriculture, and other areas,” Putin said, expressing hopes that the “large projects being developed now” will not “be the last.”
