Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski says his yesterday's meeting with US Vice President Joe Biden was friendly and yet another confirmation of Macedonia-US strategic partnership.

"I see that some domestic media and the opposition in particularly are dealing with technicalities - who initiated the meeting, was it me or him...I would like to refer to the essence, namely that we have had a rather friendly, successful meeting with Mr. Joe Biden, also attended by Mrs. Victoria Nuland. It is yet another confirmation of our strategic partnership with the US, a state that has helped us a lot for the last two and a half decades of our independence and will keep supporting us in the future," Gruevski told reporters after signing of an agreement with Indian BRG Group Tuesday in Veles on the company's investment in restarting of former 'Porcelanka' factory.
