Stable Relationship with Russia a Priority for Merkel Europe Deutsche Welle 15.01.2006
On the heels of her first trip to Washington as chancellor, Angela Merkel embarks on a similar official visit to Russia Monday, where she will meet with President Vladimir Putin. What are the expectations of the visit?
The talks between the Russian and German leaders scheduled for Monday are approaching with a certain amount of suspense. Not only was her predecessor, Gerhard Schröder, one of Russian staunchest advocates on the world stage, but he and Putin were also close personal friends. Schröder refused to raise even the slightest objection to any of Putin's controversial domestic policies over the years.
I like her style.
