Russian Leader Phones Blair
Prime Minister Tony Blair had a twenty minute phone conversation
today with Russia's President Yeltsin.
The two, who have never met, spoke for about twenty minutes after Mr Yeltsin telephoned Mr Blair.
Officials described the call as "warm and friendly", saying it centred on the hopes for early completion of the agreement between Russia and Nato, and on Britain's presidency of the European Union next year.
Mr Blair will see the Russian president at the G7/G8 summit in Denver, Colorado next month.
