"Co-chairs of the organization Robert Foglesong and Valery Vostrotin discussed the development of Russian-US humanitarian cooperation, information exchange and inter-party collaboration systems, and organizing archival searches for missing persons," the ministry press service said.
A US–Russia Joint Commission on Prisoners of War and Missing in Action (POW/MIAs) working group, meeting in Moscow, discussed preparatory steps for the upcoming 20th plenary session.
Vladimir Popov, in charge of Commission operations, and his deputy Andrey Taranov are expected to join co-chair Vostrotin from the Russian side.
The joint commission on POWs/MIAs, known in the United States by its acronym USRJC, was established in 1992 to account for World War II and Cold War-era service personnel.
