NOVO OGARYEVO, Russia (AFP) — Vladimir Putin told German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Saturday he'd given presents to his wife for International Women's Day, but joked he would breakfast with her.
The Russian president began talks with Merkel at his residence just outside Moscow by congratulating her on Women's Day, which is widely celebrated in Russia.
"Have you prepared breakfast for your wife this morning?" Merkel asked with a smile.
"I gave her presents, but we will have breakfast together," Putin responded, despite the fact that their meeting started at around lunchtime.
