Gerhard Schroeder's Wife Says Ex-Chancellor Visits Moscow for Energy Talks
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is in Moscow for "energy policy" talks, his wife told the German news website Spiegel after the 78-year-old was spotted in the Russian capital on Monday.

Schroeder’s wife Soyeon Schroeder-Kim sought to dispel the rumors about her husband's trip to Russia, saying on Tuesday that "He is not on vacation. He is holding talks on energy policy in Moscow."
The Spiegel reported that Schroeder flew to Moscow on Sunday via the Azerbaijani capital of Baku and would leave Russia on Tuesday. The website cited an unconfirmed source as saying that the focus of talks between Schroeder and an unknown party was
gas flow through Nord Stream 1.The Russian president’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters that Vladimir Putin did not have a meeting scheduled with Schroeder but such a possibility was not ruled out. As a chancellor from 1998 to 2005, Schoeder has a long history of contacts with Putin but those have been in decline since he left office, Peskov added.
