MOSCOW, Nov 16 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin had a conversation with Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin last week during a visit by Kazakhstan's president to Moscow, state media reported on Sunday.
Sechin, who once worked alongside Putin in the former imperial capital of St Petersburg and later under the president in the Kremlin, has run Rosneft since 2012.
U.S. President Donald Trump last month imposed Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia for the first time in his second term, targeting Rosneft and Lukoil.
