President Jiang Zemin to Visit Moscow July 15-18
China's President Jiang Zemin will visit Moscow on July 15-18 for talks with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, ITAR-TASS cited diplomatic sources as saying Wednesday.
During the visit, Jiang and Putin will sign a new cooperation agreement to replace one that expired some two decade ago, before the Soviet Union's downfall.
International strategic stability and regional cooperation issue will dominate the Jiang-Putin talks, ITAR-TASS said.
The two leaders last met earlier this month in Shanghai for a Central Asian cooperation summit.
The two country's defense ministers then signed an official declaration supporting the 1972 AMB treaty, which the United States is seeking to amend in order to begin testing a new controversial missile defense shield.
