Joko Widodo was trying to cajole Vladimir Putin – Kommersant

On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Indonesian President Joko Widodo and listened to him reproaches that Russia is not like the Indonesian palm oil, and, According to the special correspondent of “Kommersant” Andrei Kolesnikov, put the export of oil in Russia dependent on imports of Russian construction project in Bali’s largest oil refinery.

About an hour to Vladimir Putin’s meeting with the President of Indonesia, the head of the Federal service for military-technical cooperation Alexander Fomin, standing in a rather narrow lobby, the guest of Vladimir Putin’s residence in Sochi, and from time to time, shrug, said that Indonesia – is an island nation with 200 million people population, and that Myanmar, for example, generally his beloved country of which he is ready to talk for hours …

– No, about the supply of arms tell … – tried to interrupt him, journalists

.

But Alexander Fomin said that what he wanted to say. Only the description of delicious Indonesian coasts seemed prompted him to think about what this coast, which he, the time has come, named finally coastline must be protected, including air defense, ground weapons, electronic warfare …

– But, unfortunately, not alone, we offer … – sighed Alexander Fomin

-. who competitors

– Without false modesty, Russia has very little competition – suddenly brightened Alexander Fomin.- US alone is our rival in all types of weapons

– And the rest of the country

– The rest – not for everyone. No, of course, speaking of cheap weapons, then China, but there are tactical and technical characteristics of the …

And he sighed in sympathy with Chinese colleagues in their unenviable position.

– is it true that the question of placing in Indonesia munitions factory? – Asked him

Alexander Fomin looked at journalists in the end with interest

-.. You already know

Of course, because on the eve of the Russia-ASEAN summit, its inevitable briefing held presidential aide Yuri Ushakov and, as usual, was wide open.

– Yes, – said Alexander Fomin sighed again – there is such a thought

it seemed that thought gives him, if not suffering, obvious discomfort

– why not just put them to our ammunition? – Aptly I asked one of the journalists

-. Arms – tired, but patiently looked at the journalist Alexander Fomin – the goal of any company. But the localization of production – is the latest demand from a number of countries, especially developed ones. And Indonesia – is an island nation with a population of 200 million people … And in general – suddenly again revived Alexander Fomin – arms deliveries – is, oddly enough, a very peaceful area

He, obviously, wanted to talk about it. But not about anything else

-. Such deliveries, – he explained – is the next step in the country’s technological breakthrough. And then, of course, for the supplier more profitable to sell the pret-a-porter.

He said that that right wanted to try it on pret-a-porter for themselves.

Meanwhile, the president of Indonesia, at first sight there was no ambitions to buy something in Russian. He had ambitions to sell

Vladimir Putin and Joko Widodo has met in negotiating, and it was possible to verify how little the President of Indonesia is different from the US president -. I am referring, of course, looks (and in its place would anyone used it), and Sergei Lavrov, has long been here. And Mr. Ushakov. It was not only their Indonesian colleagues, without whom the protocol, which plays a role in the story of the Holy Scriptures, to start negotiations was kak-to even pointless.

Vladimir Putin pointed to the empty chair and he laughed:

– Get lost

It is, of course, well aware of the possibility of his residence

Joko Widodo also opened his white-toothed, this Obama’s smile. He, of course, did not understand a word because his translator also did not fit

-. Well, – stated Vladimir Putin.- Suit

<. p class = "b-article__text"> And it is no unnecessary witnesses said that Sochi – “this is a special place, bearing in mind that exactly 60 years ago this visit was the first president of Indonesia, Sukarno, who was a great friend of our country ».

Why not just seen” Bocharov stream “over the decades. And Vladimir Putin told about this so confident that the impression as if he took it immediately to Mr. Sukarno 60 years ago. And it is already a trusted something in it.

President of Indonesia between the few times in his short speech said that in the world there is nothing better than palm oil that Indonesia is ready supply Russia in a much more unlimited quantities than delivers today.

After all where, it seemed, in fact, the President of Indonesia can know that in Russia, just in recent weeks launched a struggle . for the eradication of palm oil

But he knew

-. We need to find new ways to export of palm oil from Indonesia to Russia increased in the near future

Protocol conversation in a narrow format – it is a short, every sentence counts, and it was even surprising that the Indonesian President says and speaks exclusively about palm oil.:

– Your Excellency, do you know about the plans to increase the import tax of palm oil (of course, not just Vladimir Putin and suggested the other day that it would be a good yield for to get rid of the products in which it soderzhitsya.- A. By. ). Palm oil is the largest export from Indonesia to Russia – it reaches $ 480 million! Exports fell sharply, it is economically disadvantageous to our country!

at least now should already stop and at least the decency to talk about something else, like to thank you for not yet extended warm welcome (it just would be in full compliance with all the protocol traditions)

-. I hope that the policy of your excellency will help to ensure that exports of Indonesian palm oil will increase in soon – instead, said Indonesian President

even during the final statement, when Vladimir Putin unveiled the refinery construction plans in Bali by Russian specialists for the Russian money (say, true. Balinese sympathetic to the idea, the implementation of which will allow them to think more about what to do with this endless stream of tourists, especially from Russia), the President of Indonesia preferred to remind that at least as important to solve the problem of increasing excise duty on palm oil

So it is necessary to understand that. no Indonesian palm oil on the shelves of Russian stores will not be the Russian motor oil in the tanks Indonesian machines
