  • Story Text: Russian President Vladimir Putin has met Federal Chancellor
    Wolfgang Schuessel in the Austrian ski resort of St
    Christoph.


    The Russian president, on his first official visit to
    Austria since taking power just over a year ago, rounded off
    his three-day trip at the Alpine resort of St Christoph.

    Upon his arrival Putin, accompanied by his wife Lyudmila,
    was greeted by Austrian President Thomas Klestil at a
    traditional Austrian welcoming ceremony.

    The two leaders were joined by Austrian Chancellor
    Wolfgang Shuessel, Vice-Chancellor Susanne Riess-Passer and
    Foreign Minister Benita Ferrero-Waldner.

    The Russian President, who is on a three-day official
    visit to Austria, arrived at St Christoph from Vienna to
    attend the men's slalom and the closing ceremony of the World
    Alpine Skiing Championships in nearby St. Anton on Saturday
    (February 10).

    Always keen to be seen as a man of action, Putin may take
    to the slopes himself.
