Cristina Kirchner meets Putin, praises Russia's support in vulture funds dispute

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner held a meeting with her Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in the Kremlin today, ending a two-day visit to Moscow that aimed at strengthening bilateral ties in key areas such as energy. Putin was the first to brief the media on the scope of the talks held with Ms. Kirchner, praising the “fruitful and active” dialogue with Argentina after 130 years of diplomatic relations between both nations.

President Cristina Kirchner also praised Russia’s support for Argentina in two disputes the country faces in the world: the sovereignty row with the United Kingdom over the Malvinas Islands and the legal battle against vulture funds suing the South American nation over its defaulted bonds. “Restructuring of sovereign debts is one of the biggest problems that many countries face,” Ms. Kirchner said in calling to “reaffirm the unconditional respect to national sovereignties.”
