UK's Cameron meets Medvedev, Putin in rare visit

None

British Prime Minister David Cameron insisted Monday that Russia and Britain can overcome sharp differences in their relations - including the 2006 poisoning death of a Kremlin critic in London - and seal new trading ties.

 

Cameron was in Moscow for the first visit to Russia's capital by a British leader in six years, meeting with President Dmitry Medvedev. He was also scheduled to hold the first talks by any British official with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in more than four years.
