Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Minister-President of Bavaria and Chairman of the Christian Social Union (CSU) Horst Seehofer in Moscow, Wednesday.
During the meeting, Putin praised Russian-Bavarian ties and called on Seehofer to help maintain business and cultural ties between Germany and Russia.
"We have a special relationship with Bavaria: the volume of trade and economic relations is very high and Bavaria accounts for 20 percent of all Russian-German economic ties," Putin said, adding that "a great responsibility rests on us for the maintenance of business and cultural ties. We know your attitude and the desire to do everything for the normalisation of Russian-European and Russian-German relations, and of course we are grateful for it."
In response, Seehofer said that the only way to resolve international issues like the Syrian conflict or refugee crisis was through "working together rather than in conflict."
"We want to accomplish all this not against our federal government, but with it, and not against Russia, but ideally with Russia," he added.
During his visit to the Russian capital, Seehofer will also meet with Russian Minister of Economic Development Alexei Ulyukaev and Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.
