When speaking at a briefing in Savannah, Rice said that the two leaders had established very good relations. This is a great advantage that makes it possible to solve any questions, she added. Thus, she said, practically any topic can be discussed at the meeting.
Rice said Bush might necessarily want to be told about the successes Russia has had on the path of the economic reform at a meeting with the Russian leader.
On the whole, Rice said, the US is having good relations with Russia and Washington and Moscow are involved in a constant dialogue. She noted that Russia was a partner of the US in the anti-terrorist fight and in the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Russia, in particular, has played a major part in settling the dispute around North Korea's nuclear problem, the US National Security Adviser said.
Rice added that the US was interested in developing the energy dialogue with Russia who is a major supplier of energy resources.
