Investment Forum Sochi, black sea Sept-19
Russian and French Prime Ministers, Vladimir Putin and Francois Fillon, met on the sidelines of the investment forum in Sochi on Friday and co-chair the bilateral cooperation commission. Putin and Fillon insisted today on direct ties between Moscow and Europe to guarantee stability in the region.
Georgia no problem
Putin said relations with France are not affected by the Georgian crisis.I believe the events in the Caucasus did not affect our cooperation in any way. Not a single project has been suspended between France and Russia in the wake of the Georgia conflict. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose country holds the rotating presidency in the European Union, mediated the deal which ended the war in Georgia.
Ariane space europe bought 10 Soyuz-ST rockets to replace retiring space shuttle flights to ISS space station. The reliable rocket can launch the ATV-Astronaut version to ISS.
SOCHI, Russia: Russia and France put aside disagreements over the August war in Georgia in a move to promote bi-lateral relations, especially in key energy projects.
"We will conduct with Russia a direct and tight dialogue of true partners," French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said, opening a regular meeting of an inter-government commission in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
The final document of the meeting said the two countries will focus on developing relations in high tech, energy and space sectors, including cooperation in developing the Shtokman gas field and a joint project to launch Soyuz space crafts from a French launching pad.
"Differences happen, indeed, but they should be resolved through a dialogue," he told the gathering of government officials and businessmen co-chaired by powerful Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
