Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin conducted a meeting of the Government Presidium
During his speech Vladimir Putin dwelled on the issues of education in Russia.

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin met with Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova Zinaida Greceanii
"I would like to note that we are happy with the way trade and economic links between Russia and Moldova are developing. You only have to look at the rate at which our trade is growing. Last year it stood at $1 billion. This is a good indicator. I am sure that we have grounds to expect that our relations will continue developing at the same pace."
Prime Minister Putin met with Joseph Ackermann, President of Deutsche Bank
"Deutsche Bank is active all over Russia today. Last year, if my memory does not fail me, Deutsche Bank administered over 10 IPOs for Russian companies helping to promote our companies in world markets. A large amount of work has been done."
