WASHINGTON, May 30 (RIA Novosti) - U.S. President George W. Bush will welcome his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to his family's summer retreat in Maine on July 1-2, the White House said Wednesday.

At Walker's Point near the town of Kennebunkport, "the presidents will discuss a wide range of issues, including Iran, civil nuclear cooperation, and missile defense," a White House spokesman said.

"Cooperation between the United States and Russia is important in solving regional conflicts, stopping the spread of weapons of mass destruction, and combating terrorism and extremism," he said.

The meeting will come after the 33rd G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany, where the Russian and U.S. leaders are to hold bilateral talks.
