"As for cooperation with European conservative parties, I'm very pleased to note that United Russia has made certain progress in this respect. It has already established good bilateral contacts with German and Italian partners, to name but a few. In this context, I consider quite promising the development of relations with the European People's Party (EPP). This is why we are so happy to see you here."
