US-Russia summit
On 6 July, President Obama arrived in Moscow for a summit with his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev. Possibly this is the first ever US Russia summit and Obama inaugurated the long expected summit with confidence 'predicting extra ordinary progress' . Mr Obama said in a statement that 'The US and Russia have more in common than they have differences'. In response to the journalists the Russian President said, “ We will have a full -pledged discussion of the relations between the two countries, closing some of the pages of the past and opening some of the pages of the future.” This visit of President Obama will definitely cut a good figure in the history of diplomacy.
However, much will depend how the two countries handle some important strategic issues.
