S.KOREAN PRESIDENT RETURNS HOME AFTER OFFICIAL TRIP TO RUSSIA.
SEOUL, Oct 1 Asia Pulse - President Lee Myung-bak returned home on Wednesday after winding up his three-day official visit to Russia, during which South Korea and Russia upgraded their bilateral relations to a strategic cooperative partnership and signed a large-scale natural gas supply deal expected to involve North Korea.
Lee held talks with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday for the landmark agreements on the upgraded partnership and closer cooperation in the development of energy resources and construction of logistics infrastructures.
Lee and Medvedev also issued a joint summit statement and sealed a dozen MOUs calling for practical bilateral cooperation across the board, including the fields of politics, diplomacy, security, defense, energy, economy and aerospace and polar development.
Notably, Lee and Medvedev agreed to work together to send Russian natural gas through a pipeline to South Korea via North Korea starting in 2015 and link the inter-Korean railway with the trans-Siberian railway for its eventual connection to Europe.
