Moscow: Russia intends to develop in every possible way cooperation with countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, President Dmitry Medvedev has said.
"For a long time Russia has been absent in Latin America
and countries of the Caribbean. Now a strategic decision has
been made - we will actively develop cooperation," the Russian
leader said at talks with President of Guyana Bharrat Jagdeo.
According to Medvedev, such cooperation "is very important
for the balance of forces in the world". Besides, the Russian
leader believes "this will help in the solution of global
problems, including climate problems".
He said last year he visited four Latin American states,
and many delegations from that region visited Russia. This
pace will continue this year, Medvedev said, noting that
several events are scheduled for 2010.
