٠٠:٠٥:٥٣Prime Minister of Myanmar Min Aung Hlaing called Russian president Vladimir Putin a 'leader of the world' during a meeting within the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) on Russky Island in Primorsky Krai on Wednesday.
"I am very proud of you that when you came to rule the country, Russia became, one might say, the number one country in the world. We would not call you the leader of Russia, but the leader of the world, because you control and organise stability all over the world," Hlaing said.
For his part, the Russian leader noted that next year, Russia and Myanmar would celebrate 75 years of diplomatic relations.
"Our relations are developing positively. The volume of trade and economic relations is still modest in absolute terms, but the trend is very good - a 2.4 times increase in the first half of this year," Putin said.
The Eastern Economic Forum opened in Vladivostok at the campus of the Far Eastern State University on September 5. The event will continue until September 8 and will include more than 90 meetings and discussions. Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the plenary session of the EEF on September 7.
