Obama, Medvedev agree to reduce N-arm stockpiles
MOSCOW: Visiting US President Barack Obama and Kremlin leader Dmitry Medvedev agreed a target for cuts in nuclear arms and a deal to let US troops fly across Russia at the start of a trip intended to mend strained ties.
At a cordial, formal news conference in the Kremlin’s vast, gilded St Andrew’s Hall, the two leaders spoke of their resolve to put differences behind them and focus on cooperating to solve global problems such as the spread of nuclear weapons.
Both mentioned the issues that still divide them — Russia’s opposition to Washington’s plans for a missile defence shield in central Europe and US insistence on Georgia’s territorial integrity — but stressed the positives in public.
