MOSCOW, December 10. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s possible
meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being looked at
but no concrete agreements have been reached so far, Putin’s press secretary
Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
"The heads of state [of Russia and Israel] agreed to appoint the date of
their personal meeting via diplomatic channels and through their aides," he
said. "So far however no concrete agreements on that matter have been
reached. We just need to find coinciding dates in the president’s and
premier’s schedules."
During their latest telephone conversation last week, Putin and Netanyahu
agreed to look at possible organization of their personal meeting.
