Russia, US to adopt 10 documents, including statement on Kyrgyzstan.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 24 (Itar-Tass) -- Moscow and Washington have
approved about ten documents and joint statements that will be adopted
during Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's visit to Washington.
Russian presidential aide Sergei Prikhodko said that the leaders'
joint statement on the situation in Kyrgyzstan might be among the
above-mentioned documents.
"It is planned that the leaders will adopt joint statements on efforts
to promote greater openness of public administration, on strategic
stability, on Russian-American cooperation in the fight against terrorism,
on strategic partnership in the field of innovations, as well as,
possibly, a number of statements on regional problems," Prikhodko said.
In response to a question as to whether he referred to a separate
document on the situation in Kyrgyzstan, the presidential aide said,"Work
is in progress."
"We are busy planning out, and working on it," he said. "Such a
document must show our common concern over the situation in the republic,
and uphold the coordinated international reaction," Prikhodko explained.
He emphasised, "Nothing is said in the (draft) statement about a U.S.
military base."
Commenting on the other statements that are being prepared, the
presidential aide said a Joint statement on strategic stability would be
of framework nature. "It is lacking any specific timeframe or dates," he
said. "This is, rather, our estimate concerning the situation around the
START Treaty, joint efforts towards its ratification, and the activities
of the working group on arms control," Prikhodko specified.
"All in all, there will be about 10 documents, although some of them
are still being coordinated," he said.
