In international affairs relations between the strongest UNSC veto powers USA and Russia occupy the center slot and perhaps rightly so. Both jointly and divided they decide the fate of the world as the resolution of all major crises depend now on the bilateral relations between the two. The former foes pursuing their own interests globally do often oppose each other’s international moves. During the Bushdom the bilateral reality almost crashed. Declaring to revise relations with Russia and after searching for a common ground with Germany on Iran crisis, as first leg of his three nation trip covering Russia, Italy and Ghana, President Barack Obama is making his visit to Moscow to cement the ties with the Kremlin leaders. Obama is all set to make his maiden trip on July 6-8 to Russia, the only powerful with UNSC veto status to challenge US unilateralism with some substance. USA counts on the presidents being able to make an announcement on interim results at the summit. The White House said the negotiations are taking place in a constructive and business-like manner and the visit to Russia would provide the chance to deepen engagement on issues including missile defense and security challenges. Russia said that talks with the USA on reducing vast arsenals of Cold War nuclear weapons were proceeding constructively ahead of the visit by U.S. President on the eve of July 4, the traditional date for celebrating the independence of the U.S.A.

Obama’s Moscow trip takes place in the face of the defeat of a coup attempt in Iran by the anti-Islamic forces having allegiance to USA and UK to remove president Ahmadinejad and perhaps to kill him by using Iranians- reminiscence of Iraqi Leader Saddam Hussein. The July Summit agenda would concentrate on improving practical cooperation, for example on countering nuclear proliferation, reducing the stockpile of nuclear weapons, cooperating on nonproliferation and trying to work out differences on a U.S. missile defense system in East Europe. They would also discuss August's Afghan elections and broader political and economic ties. The contentious issues include nuclear proliferation, Afghanistan and Pakistan, conflicts in Iraq and the Middle East, and the global economy.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Washington and Moscow must set aside the power politics of the past and use a forthcoming summit to unite in tackling global economic and political problems. Seeking to narrow differences before Obama and Medvedev meet in Moscow on 6th, both countries have restated their desire to "reset" relations, which deteriorated to near Cold War levels in Washington and Moscow. Three rounds of talks at top level have concluded. U.S. lawmakers and their Russian counterparts met in Moscow on June 28 for the fourth round to discuss arms control, North Korea and other international issues.
