MOSCOW, September 17 (RIA Novosti) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev will hold talks in Moscow on Thursday with Liechtenstein Prince-Regent Alois, who is currently on a visit to Russia.
A Kremlin source said that the heads of states are expected "to discuss issues of trade and economic and cultural cooperation, perspectives for the development of interaction in the spheres of financial monitoring and taxation."
"The talks will focus on coordination of two countries' positions in international affairs, particularly on concluding a possible agreement to form a free trade zone between Russia and the European Free Trade Association [EFTA]," the source said.
Trade between Russia and Liechtenstein totaled some $65 million in 2008, which was an 11% drop against the previous year.
