Bush and Putin to hold summit soon: Kasyanov

Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with President George Bush in the near future, making up a summit that was cancelled due to the Chechen hostage crisis in Moscow, Russian Prime Minister Mihkail Kasyanov said.

"It is expected that in the nearest future, a meeting will take place between President Putin and Bush," Kasyanov said on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum here.
