Donald TuskMOSCOW, February 8 (RIA Novosti) - President Vladimir Putin told Poland's prime minister at talks in Moscow on Friday that Russia hopes to build a strong, businesslike relationship with its former Eastern Bloc ally.
Donald Tusk is currently on his first to Russia since he came to power in Poland in November 2007.
At the start of meeting Friday evening in the Kremlin, President Putin said: "I believe that re-establishing normal, businesslike cooperation and dialogue, embracing partnership and mutual interest, will allow us to find solutions to any problems."
The Polish premier told Putin his visit to Moscow has already shown that both countries want to put past hostilities behind them. Earlier in the day he met with Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov and First Deputy Premier Dmitry Medvedev, who is almost certain to be elected Russia's president next month.
The talks with Zubkov and Medvedev "clearly show that both sides are fed up with the 'cold' atmosphere," Tusk said.
