9. South Africa's Links with Iran.
A visit by the South African Foreign Minister to Iran to promote economic cooperation has raised concern in the West over the foreign policy pursued by the South African government.
The Pretoria government rejected Washington's attempts to influence its relationship with Iran which is accused by the Americans of
sponsoring terrorism. Iran's official news agency quoted South Africa's Foreign Minister as saying that South Africa did not follow the American policy of trying to isolate Iran. "Relations with Iran are good and talks were held in the atmosphere of mutual understanding. Both sides welcomed further contacts in the interests of the peoples* of our countries".
10. Presidents Meet to Boost Sino-Russian Ties.
China's President arrives in Russia tomorrow for a four-day visit aimed at broadening and deepening strategic and political co-operation between the two countries.
For the Kremlin, his visit is a welcome counterbalance to domestic concerns about Nato enlargement and worries that Russia is being excluded from the western club of nations.
China's President and the President of the Russian Federation, are due to sign two historic pacts aimed at giving substance to improving Sino-Russian ties.
These are a "strategic co-operative partnership" agreement and a treaty on further reducing troop numbers and extending military cooperation along the two countries frontier.
The two presidents will also be concerned to promote trade ties which have not developed as both countries might have wished.
11. Greek - Turkish Talks.
The Greek Prime-Minister held urgent meetings with his senior ministers yesterday to discuss a European Union (EU) initiative for starting a dialogue with Turkey, according to the government officials. They said Athens and Ankara were close to agreeing the establishment of a committee of experts from each side to discuss ways of tackling differences.
It is the first time the two rivals have considered talking since January last year when they came close to war over rights of two small uninhabited islands in the Aegean Sea.
