Canadian PM in Moscow for terror talks

Joint work against terrorism, boosting oil and gas supplies and cooperation on Arctic issues were expected to dominate talks this week between Russian officials and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin, who arrived in Moscow today for a three-day visit on the invitation of President Vladimir Putin.

The ITAR-Tass and Interfax news agencies said a joint statement on the fight against terrorism would be issued at the end of Martin’s visit, which is scheduled for Wednesday.
