Obama & Lavrov: It's Business Time

Despite international events suggesting otherwise, Russia and America yesterday stressed the positive working relationship between their governments on a broad range of issues. President Obama and Secretary Lavrov expressed their professional respect of each other and their counterparts, ushering in an era of pragmatic co-operation. Check out the video of the resulting press conference here - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8039346.stm

Chiming with this sentiment, Secretary Clinton recently remarked; "It is, I think, old thinking to say that we have a disagreement in one area, therefore we shouldn't work on something else that is of overwhelming importance."
