" Good afternoon. Everybody and I want to thank present a bit. Medvedev and the Russian people for their hospitality. Michelle and I and our children are pleased to be here in Moscow and two Beers overly in my administration. We've just concluded a very productive meeting. Us president event it just indicated. The president and I agreed that the relationship between Russia and the United States has suffered from a sense of drift. We resolved to reset US Russian relations so that we can cooperate more effectively. In areas of common interest. Today after less than six months of collaboration. We've done exactly that by taking concrete steps forward on a range of issues. While paving the way for more progress in the future. I think it's particularly notable but we've addressed the top priorities. These are not second tier issues they are fundamental to the security. And prosperity of both comforts. First we've taken important steps forward to increase nuclear security had to stop the spread of nuclear weapons. This starts with a reduction of our -- law. All nuclear arsenals as the world's two leading nuclear powers the United States and Russia must lead by example. And that's what we're doing here today. We have signed a joint understanding for a follow on treaty to be start agreement that will reduce our nuclear warheads and delivery system by have to -- third. From our current treaty limitations. This legally binding treaty will be completed this year. We've also agreed on a joint statement on nuclear security cooperation that will help us achieve the goal of securing. All vulnerable nuclear materials within four years progress that we can build upon later this week. At the G-8 summit. Together these are important steps forward in implementing the agenda that I laid out in front. As we keep our commitments so we must ensure that other nations keep -- Too bad and we had constructive discussions about North Korea and Iraq law. North Korea has abandoned its own commitments and violated international law and that's why I'm. Pleased that Russia joined us and Jessica. UN Security Council resolution that calls for strong steps to block North Korea's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Iraq also poses a serious challenge through its failure to live up to international obligations. This is not just problem for the United States. That raises the prospect of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East which would endanger global security. While Iran's ballistic missile program could also pose a threat to the broader reach. That's why I'm pleased that we've agreed on a joint statement on cooperation on missile defense. And a joint threat assessment of the ballistic missile challenges of the 20% three including those posed by Iran and North Korea. Second that we have taken important steps forward to strengthen our security through greater cooperation. President Medvedev and I agreed upon the need to combat the threat of violent extremists particularly from al-Qaeda. And today we signed an agreement will allow the transit of people the military equipment through Russia to Afghanistan. This is a substantial contribution by Russia -- international effort. It'll save the United States time and resources and giving our troops the support that they need. Thanks to abnormal and his Russian counterpart we've also agreed to resume military to military cooperation. Between the United States and Russia. This provides the framework. -- improve cooperation. And interoperability between armed forces so that we can better to address the threats that we face from terrorism. To privacy. We've also agreed to restore a joint commission on prisoners of war and mission missing in action. Which will allow our governments cooperate. In our unwavering commitment to our missing servicemen and women. And third we've taken important steps forward to broaden our cooperation on a full range of issues that affect the security and prosperity of our people. President Medvedev. Are creating a US Russian bilateral presidential commission to servicing new foundation for this cooperation. Too often the United States Russia only communicate on a narrow range of issues. -- let old habits within our bureaucracies stand in the way of progress. That's why this commission will include working groups on development in the economy. Energy in the environment. Nuclear energy insecurity. Arms Control and International Security. Defense foreign policy and counterterrorism. Preventing and handling emergencies. Civil society. Science and technology. Space health education and culture. This work will be coordinated by sector Clinton and mr. lamb broth and Secretary Clinton will travel to Russia this fall to carry the -- forward. Just to give you one exam that of this cooperation. Is the new memorandum of understanding on help. We've learned most recently with the H1N1 virus. That a disease that emerges anywhere can pose a risk to people everywhere. That's -- our Department of Health and Human Services will cooperate with the Russian counterparts. To combat. Infectious chronic and non communicable diseases small promoting prevention and global help. Finally I'm pleased that -- taken the important step of lifting restrictions on imports of US livestock. The cost of -- restrictions to American businesses over one point three billion dollars but we've now made important progress towards restoring that commerce. I won't pretend that the United States and Russia agree on every issue as president Medvedev indicated we've had some frank discussions and -- areas. Where we still disagree. For instance we have frank discussion on Russia on Georgia. And I reiterated my firm belief that Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respect. Yet even as we work through our disagreements. On Georgia's borders we do agree that no one has an interest in renewed military conflict. Going forward we must speak candidly to resolve these differences peacefully and constructive. President Medvedev and I are committed to leaving behind the suspicion and rivalry of the past so that we can advance Beatrice that we hold in common. Today we made meaningful progress and demonstrating through deeds. And works what more constructive US Russian relationship. Can look like -- 40% for. Tomorrow look forward to broadening its effort to include business civil society and the dialogue among the American and Russian people. I believe that all of us have an interest in forging a future in which the United States Russia partner. Effectively on behalf of our security prosperity. That's the purpose of reselling our relations that the progress we've made today. And I once again -- bank president Medvedev and his entire team. For being such wonderful hosts and working so effectively. With -- back."
