Transcript of the beginning of the meeting: 

Vladimir Putin: Your Highness, we are very happy to see you here in Russia. I am personally very glad to meet with you again, this time in a somewhat unusual setting. You will have an opportunity to see the natural sights of central Russia. And we will also have a chance to talk business tonight and during breakfast tomorrow morning.

I am certain that we'll have a productive dialogue, an exchange of opinions, especially given that your country's investment capacities are vast. We, in turn, are ready to share our high-tech developments and discuss cooperation on third markets.

We consider relations with your country as an important segment of Russia's cooperation with Arab and Islamic nations. We are happy to see you and welcome to Russia.

Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (as translated): Your Excellency, it is an honour for me to be here. I also appreciate being invited to such a beautiful place.

We highly value our bilateral relations. They are very important for us, and we will continue working to strengthen them. We believe we have a good potential and will be building on it. Thank you.
