French President François Hollande arrives in Moscow on visit

French President François Hollande is arriving in Moscow this Wednesday on a visit. His two-day stay in the Russian capital will prove his first visit to this country following his arrival at the Élysée Palace in May last year.

The forthcoming talks in Moscow will provide an opportunity to discuss some global problems with Russia, which chairs the G-20 this year, and will chair the G-8 in 2014, according to Hollande’s entourage.

The parties to the Moscow talks are expected to sign agreements to further simplify visa procedures, recognize each other’s university diplomas and promote student exchanges in the light of the Russian global education project, Vesti.ru reports.
