Headlines are such great puns...Looks like Presidents Medvedev and Obama are reopening the arms control dialogue.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama held on Wednesday a "constructive and friendly" phone conversation about a new nuclear arms reduction treaty, the Kremlin said, according to RIA Novosti.
"The two presidents discussed in detail current issues of Russian-American relations, including the prospects for completing in the near future work on the new strategic offensive arms treaty," the Kremlin.ru website said.
"The discussion was held in the constructive and friendly manner that has become usual for top-level contacts between the two parties," the statement went on, adding that the telephone conversation was initiated by the U.S.
A new document to replace the START 1 treaty, which expired on December 5, has not been signed yet over disagreements on verification and control arrangements to be included in the document.
