/TRANSLATED FROM RUSSIAN/Lavrov: maintaining the momentum in relations with the United States is Russia’s task http://www.rian.ru/politics/20110113/321027787.htmlGOOGLE TRANSLATION 13/01/2011 11:49 MOSCOW, January 13 - RIA Novosti. Relations between Russia and the U.S. are much more alike than different, and the fundamental task of Moscow in 2011 is to preserve the dynamics of bilateral relations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a press conference about the past year of 2010. "I consider it fundamentally important task that permeates all aspects of our contacts (USA) - to keep up the positive momentum in our relations, and this can be done by consequent following of that course, which identified two of the president (Russia-US) and, of course, respecting the interests of each other in carrying out the agreements that are reached, and taking into account the concerns of the parties, "-" Lavrov said. According to him, such concerns are in a relationship. Thus, during the press conference, he noted, in particular, issues of missile defense. "It will be hard working and see what happens. But, summing up, tell us that the U.S. still unites more than divides us, and we shall proceed from the fact that it is an objective reality," - he said.

From a political point of view, 2010 has reaped a rich harvest of events, scandals and even breakthroughs. Russia has not been standing aside, getting its share of tragedies and victories – from living through the March Metro terrorist acts, the shocking crash of the Polish president’s plane near Smolensk and the deadly summer heat, to enjoying the much-hyped “reset” between Russia and the US and sealing the New START treaty. With the odd spy scandal thrown in for good measure. © Autonomous Nonprofit Organization “TV-Novosti”, 2005 - 2011. All rights reserved.
Published: 13 January, 2011, 09:08 Edited: 13 January, 2011, 01:28 What mark did 2010 leave on the history of Russian diplomacy and what results were accomplished? Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will highlight key events of the past year on Thursday at a press conference in Moscow. Last year was one of the busiest ever for the country’s foreign policy. It was also marked by a large number of serious events in the international arena. Russia – an important world politics player, UN Security Council permanent member, and a participant in the G8 Group – was taking an active part in what was happening throughout the globe. Overcoming the consequences of the economic crisis still remained among the priorities, but was indeed just a part of the focus of Moscow’s foreign policy.The country kept working on developing relations with its neighbors – the CIS member-states. Launching the Customs Union between Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus in July last year became a breakthrough event for the integration process in the post-Soviet territories. Yet another major happening, Russia and the US managed to iron out differences and sign a crucial new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. In the year when Russia celebrated the 65th anniversary of victory over the Nazis, Moscow doubled its efforts in countering attempts to rewrite history and justify Nazi ideology. On Thursday Russia’s top diplomat, Sergey Lavrov, is giving a press conference to review major events of the previous year and answer journalists’ questions. © Autonomous Nonprofit Organization “TV-Novosti”, 2005 - 2011.
