raiting (0/2) Russian and US presidents Vladimir Putin and George W. Bush at their two-day talks in Kennebunkport will give a fresh impetus to new agreements that should replace the expiring Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty and focus on non-proliferation. “The question comes up what will replace the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty that expires in 2009,” Russian presidential aide Sergei Prikhodko said on the eve of Putin’s visit to the United States that begins on Sunday. “An expert dialogue on the issue is underway. The presidents will discuss how the process proceeds and if necessary will give an additional impetus to promotion of a new agreement that should ensure and maintain strategic stability for long,” he said. The aide pointed out that the two leaders will have a detailed conversation on the problem of non-proliferation to “strengthen Russian and US leadership” in this area as well as in the development of peaceful nuclear energy. “Cooperation in these areas has become “illustrative” in our relations in general. Here, our countries’ interests practically fully coincide,” he said. “The presidents will deepen discussions with a focus on how Russia and the United States can facilitate their leadership to organize collective action towards the development of peaceful nuclear energy for other interested countries to use its value, of course, in strict compliance with the non-proliferation treaty.” Prikhodko cited as examples of such cooperation Putin’s initiative to create a first-ever international uranium enrichment centre and Bush’s initiative on the peaceful use of nuclear energy within the framework of the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership. “These initiatives complement each other and can together provide a rather attractive alternative for other countries that seek to develop civil nuclear energy without creating proliferation risks,” he said.
