  • Story Text: U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has layed a wreath
    at the memorial to victims of a bomb explosion in the Moscow
    underground in August 2000.



    U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell arrived in Russia
    on Sunday (December 9) for talks with President Vladimir Putin
    which will cover rebuilding post-war Afghanistan.

    Powell's plane landed at the snowy VIP Vnukovo-2 airport
    outside Moscow where temperatures have stayed at about minus
    10 degrees Celsius for over a week.

    The two-day visit is Powell's first trip to Russia as U.S.

    foreign policy chief.

    It comes after a whirlwind tour of Uzbekistan and
    Kazakhstan, two ex-Soviet Central Asian states which pledged
    to cooperate further with Washington on Afghanistan after
    offering the use of their bases and air space.

    Powell is scheduled to meet Putin on Monday (December 10).

    The Kremlin leader was due to return to Moscow later on Sunday
    after informal talks with German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder
    in Hanover during a stop-off on his flight back from a state
    visit to Greece.

    Powell paid tribute to the 13 people who died in a bomb
    blast in Moscow's underground in August 2000. The Secretary of
    State lay a basket of flowers underneath a plaque
    commemorating the victims of the blast.

    Powell's agenda was also thought likely to include
    Russian-U.S. talks on missile defence, the pace of Moscow's
    integration with NATO and its bid to enter the World Trade
    Organisation.
