Mikhail Kamynin, the official spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, said the visit is expected to highlight the Middle East peace process and Russia's proposal to hold an international Middle East conference. The sides will also discuss ways of stabilizing the situation in Iraq.
"Discussion will focus on how to bring real national reconciliation with the help of effective international support and coordination of the mandate of multinational forces," Kamynin said.
Iran's controversial nuclear program and the crisis in Lebanon will also be on the agenda.
