Russian FM Sergey Lavrov claims that Ukraine is the main foreign political partner of Russia.
According to an UNIAN correspondent, S.Lavrov said this in the beginning of the sub-commission on international cooperation, that is within the Yushchenko-Putin interstate commission framework, which opened in Kyiv today.
He stressed that Russia is satisfied with the agreements, achieved with Ukraine in the sphere of commercial-economic ties, fuel-energy complex, transport, agriculture, and space.
As UNIAN reported earlier, Lavrov and his counterpart Boris Tarasyuk will chair the first meeting of the sub-commission on international cooperation, that is within the Yushchenko-Putin interstate commission framework.
