Foreign minister denies dependence of Kyoto Protocol on Russia's decision
RBC, 23.01.2004, Moscow 18:18:15. The fate of the Kyoto Protocol does not depend directly on Russia's position since some countries have not ratified it either, Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov declared after negotiation with his French counterpart Dominique de Villepin. Ivanov stressed that Russia would take into account its own national interests when making a decision on ratifying this document. Speaking about Russian-French relations Ivanov expressed satisfaction with the pace of their development, which was promoted by regular meetings of the Russian and French presidents.
