No conflict situations in ties between Seoul and Moscow: president.

SEOUL, November 10 (Itar-Tass) - There are no conflict situations in
relations between the Republic of Korea and the Russian Federation, South
Korean President Lee Myung-bak said on Wednesday after the forum "Russia-
Republic of Korea Dialogue".
The forum was launched this year, which marks the 20th anniversary of
diplomatic relations between the two countries. "Our countries have
reached a high level of relations over this period of time," the South
Korean leader said.
According to the president, rather intensive contacts between the two
countries' presidents as well as the level of trust-based relations
between them have contributed to that.
"We meet three to four times a year. We have established close
relations, which enable us to maintain a friendly dialogue," he stressed.
The South Korean leader believes the two countries must seek to be
more informed about the life of each other's citizens, noting that people
in his country "know well and like the music of Tchaikovsky, masterpieces
of Tolstoy and of other Russian composers and writers".
Focusing on the G20 summit that opens on Thursday, Lee Myung-bak noted
that South Korea and Russia will participate in it with a common platform,
as G20, according to him, "represents the interests of more than 170
countries of the world".
Our task is "to render assistance to those states in modernising their
economies".
