Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday US President-elect Donald Trump confirmed to him he was willing to mend ties, though he also said he would welcome President Barack Obama in Russia.
“The President-elect confirmed he is willing to normalise Russian-American relations. I told him the same. We did not discuss where and when we would meet.”
Putin also told a news conference in Lima after the APEC summit that Russia is ready to freeze oil output at current levels.
Putin said he thanked Obama during Sunday's meeting in Lima “for the years of joint work”.
“I told him that we would be happy to see him (Obama) in Russia anytime if he wants, can and has desire,” Putin said.

@Podmari this is good news for india if relationship between these two world improves as India has good relationship with both. May be not too good for China which needs Russia on his side badly. China will have bad time, not a single world power with her.USA, Japan , Korea, EU, Australia, India etc and now Russia also leaves China????

Obstructing China's Growth.
The Russians want an understanding with the USA so that they may divert their attention to the production of more consumer goods.They also want a larger output for distribution in the form of trade and aid to underdeveloped countries of Asia and Africa.This makes it all the more necessary for West,especially the USA to have "clearly defined objectives" and pursue them relentlessly.
And the main objective and the single meeting point for Russia and USA is how to obstruct China's trade & commerce thereby putting strong pressure on her growing economy.
If Russia & USA are successful in achieving their objective, it will affect the viability of CPEC. Pakistan should be on guard.

Russia is playing a double game here. On one side she has shown complete support for China, India and also interested to strengthen the ties with Pakistan, and on the other side she is keen to have normal relations with USA. Tough game to play though.

Trump had won because of Putin's under-hand help. Now the favors have to be returned at the cost of American citizens.

Russian President Putin says Trump confirmed willing to mend ties... How.... the interest are different...As a matter of fact the Russians are probably laughing about Americans. whatever was Russians agenda, Donald Trump will fulfill it without spending a dime... AND THAT IS POLITICS...The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting. Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance....
