Vladimir Putin has invited Donald Trump to Moscow, he announced today.
The Russian President officially revealed he will return the favour after being invited to meet his US counterpart in the White House.
Speaking to reporters at a summit of BRICS countries in South Africa, Putin said he is ready for a meeting in Washington.
Putin added: "He [Trump] has a desire to have further meetings, to hold further meetings. I am ready for that. We need for the appropriate conditions to exist, to be created, including in our countries.
"We are ready for such meetings. We are ready to invite President Trump to Moscow. By all means. By the way, he has such an invitation, I told him about that."
"I am ready to go to Washington. I repeat once again, if the right conditions for work are created."
He added telephone calls between Moscow and Washington were insufficient, and both sides needed to meet face-to-face to talk about issues like the Iran nuclear deal and global conflicts.
It comes just 11 days after the pair held their extraordinary first press conference at a major summit in Helsinki.
During the 45-minute session, Trump cast doubt on the US intelligence services branding their probe into Russian election hacking a "disaster for our country".
The President also lavished his Russian counterpart with praise in Helsinki and said their relationship had improved.
At the same time Putin also said he wanted Trump to win the 2016 election.
Trump backtracked after his love-in with Putin in Finland, eventually claiming he holds the Russian President personally responsible for election meddling, after he faced a backlash and was accused of treason.
At first, Trump said he saw no reason why Russia would attempt to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. That was despite the CIA and FBI both agreeing that the Kremlin did.
Later he said he meant "wouldn't", not "would".
Later still Trump said: "Just like I consider myself to be responsible for things that happen in this country.
"So certainly as the leader of a country you would have to hold him responsible, yes."
