MOSCOW, April 2 (RIA Novosti) - The U.S. president will meet briefly with Russian president-elect Dmitry Medvedev after talks with outgoing leader Vladimir Putin in southern Russia on April 6, a Kremlin official said on Wednesday.

George W. Bush will visit the Russian president's holiday residence in Sochi on the Black Sea on Sunday after the April 2-4 NATO summit in Romania, for talks expected to focus on missile defense.

"Talks between President Putin and George Bush have been scheduled for Sunday [April 6]," presidential aide Sergei Prikhodko said. "Bush will also meet briefly with President-elect Dmitry Medvedev."

First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev won the March 8 presidential election in a landslide, gaining more than 70% of the vote. Prior to the election, Vladimir Putin agreed to become prime minister in the event of his long-time ally's victory.

Medvedev has met with several foreign leaders since his election.
