- Story Text: German opposition leader, Edmund Stoiber, the man
who will challenge Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder in September
elections has arrived in Moscow for a two-day visit.
Stoiber arrived in the Russian capital on Tuesday (July
9, 2002) and was later the official guest at a dinner hosted by the
Mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov.
On Wednesday, the German conservative leader, embarks on
a round of meetings with senior Russian officials, including
talks with Russian foreign and defence ministers and a meeting
at the Kremlin with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
General elections are scheduled for September 22 in
Germany, and Stoiber's conservatives are set for a strong
showing against Chancellor Schroeder's centre-left Social
Democrats.
