Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov and South African Vice-President Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka are now holding talks here on some topical problems of bilateral commercial and economic cooperation. Taking part in the talks, held at the residence of the South African president, are representatives from the governments of the two countries. Upon arriving in Pretoria on Sunday, Fradkov told reporters that the purpose of his working visit to the Republic of South Africa was to promote interaction of the two countries in the mining of useful minerals and diamonds, in the exploration of outer space, and also in energy, primarily atomic. Taking part in the Monday negotiations from the Russian side are Minister for Natural Resources Yuri Trutnev, Deputy Minister of Energy and Industry Ivan Materov, Deputy Minister of Agriculture Igor Rubenya, and Roskosmos Deputy Chief Yuri Nosenko. The large-format negotiations were preceded by Fradkov’s tete-a-tete talk with Mlambo-Ngcuka. The South African vice-president noted with regret during the conversation that Fradkov’s two-day visit was “too short to get a clear idea of South Africa”. The Russian prime minister noted in reply that this time was absolutely sufficient “to get the very first impressing, which were really splendid”. Several Russo-South African documents will most likely be signed as a result of the current inter-government negotiations.
