Russian President Vladimir Putin has appeared in public for the first time since 5 March, quelling intense speculation about his health.
He was meeting Kyrgyzstan President Almazbek Atambayev in St Petersburg.
Commenting on the rumours about his health, Mr Putin said "things would be boring without gossip", RIA Novosti news agency reported.
Earlier, Mr Putin ordered Russia's navy on to a state of full combat readiness in the Arctic.
Russia says the navy drills involve 56 warships, planes and 38,000 personnel.
'In excellent form'According to a tweet from the meeting in St Petersburg, Mr Atambayev said that Mr Putin "just took me for a little drive - he was at the wheel - nearby here, and I can confirm that he's in excellent form".
The Russian TV news channel Rossiya 24 also showed some brief footage of Mr Putin at the meeting, without sound.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov - quoted in a Russian journalist's tweet - said St Petersburg was chosen as a convenient venue for Mr Atambayev, whose daughter is studying there.
Mr Peskov was also quoted as saying the "little drive" mentioned by the Kyrgyz leader lasted about 20 minutes, and Mr Putin "showed what a beautiful place Strelnya is". The leaders were meeting at a tsarist palace in Strelnya, outside St Petersburg.
