MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 18th September, 2018) A bilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the president of El Salvador should take place as soon as possible, Efren Arnoldo Bernal Chevez, the ambassador of El Salvador to Russia, told Sputnik on Tuesday.

"I would like this meeting to be arranged as soon as possible. But you know that presidential election will be held in El Salvador in February [2019]. If we fail to organize the meeting before the year ends, if we fail to do it this year, then, it probably will be the next president [who will meet with Putin]. But no matter who will do this [meet with Putin], the most important thing is that there is an agenda between our two countries," Chevez said.

Presidential election will be held on February 3, 2019 in El Salvador. Salvador Sanchez Ceren, the current president of El Salvador, cannot be eligible for immediate re-election under the country's legislation.
