importance should pull modernization and other and joint projects addressing issues that have to do you would signing the new framework agreement and defining clear parameters for our cooperation with the european union on the issues of international security to solve them involves cooperation on a crisis management. process for resolution. and there is an initiative proposed by. german chancellor angela merkel and supported by the e.u. to create a council for addressing security issues we are interested in and have. promoting nonproliferation of w.m.c. and we considered our joint work on implementing the greens that had been achieved

reforms it has launched and the opposition should not use provocations and reject invitations to dialogue. whose book with our approach is very close on the middle east settlement primarily. in terms of the need to resume talks between palestinians and israel. will we also discussed the situation in some other regions as well our positions are very close on such issues such as fighting piracy the situation in afghanistan and we also paid special attention to detail are a top aeration here in the g eight into twenty. primarily preparing for the next meeting in cannes. later this year still this is what i think about the situation our colleagues will share their

impressions thank you. first i would ask the french foreign minister just say something mr len shapiro you the forty. ladies and gentlemen. the defense minister of france. is present today in moscow and this day. who will goals is will. we have started this day on negotiations. about the. tenth session of the council of security. rules i would like to add certain points to what sergei lavrov has said so who will be able to do was the first of all we would like to state again your. the

relations between france and russia are at an excellent stage very. confident in many domains in many spheres and in the cultural sphere for example. but also in the economic sphere. our companies are contributing to the diversification of the russian economy for example in the project of the russian silicon valley or in the development of tourism in the north caucasus and other possibilities. paris has just launched a large scale project called a big paris and moscow is ready to do the same. who is this is giving a lot of opportunities for exchange of experience. but of course in the domain in these serious security. we have had negotiations.

when we can talking about the military situation we have had several discussions. i would like to say that. when it comes to the participation of for the russian president within the framework of the g eight. we would like to say it to bring our support to the initiatives promoted by the russians and russian side to resolving the situations in egypt in iraq oh in jordan. we would like to complete these negotiations within the mother in the month of september. since. russia will be one of the main players in the reunion of the g eight. when it comes to talk about the stabilization. security.

is that. also when it comes to economic domains in reforming the international monetary system. we've also. bringing our commitment to the strengthening of. relationships between russia nato and the un when it comes to global security space of the year atlantic space. we have also developed ties within the framework of nato russia relations so here we have to say that. this is the hopes that we expected to come out of the lisbon meeting. will we hope that they are strong and that russia's participation will be completely supported by the e.u. french side. we are.

also confident that we will reach. a certain. understanding in dialogue in terms of the nuclear nonproliferation russia is our partner. this must be clarified that russia and france will work together. when it comes to the e.u. russia relations we have talked through certain aspects. as well. as france is in the heart of europe we are very much interested in developing this cooperation there are russian colleagues. when it comes to the energy of the third energy package. hasn't been completely. on discussed and we haven't come to a complete conclusion. but francis showing his commitment in developing negotiations in this aspect. we have talked about certain

crises international crises this has been a friendly dialogue but we have to say that a certain aspects we have not come to. a understanding. we have talked about the military phase of the operation in libya but there is no point in returning to this topic because it's now over. there. we would like to see a russia present day at the meeting of the if friends of libya which will be held in paris and we hope from the russian side we will see mr markelov present. we'll be talking about the reconstruction of the company of the country when it comes to syria. we have different approaches. is that the. yes you know. when it comes to the expression of fear.

public opinion about the situation was going on and that the measures that are being discussed are seen as disproportionate and unacceptable. will. we have to have a strong message produce a strong message with russia. within the framework of the security council even though. we have different approaches in this respect when it comes to iran. as we have talked about producing efforts as to the nonproliferation of nuclear weapons in iran. or. we have to. project strong messages towards iran so that this issue does not become an international problem. we

have mutual approaches to the situation the middle east says it's only coming back to the negotiations table that may be a solution to stabilizing the situation between peace rallies and the palestinians . it's also the task of the quartet. to continue negotiating. with the two sides. we've talked about many other topics too. but i'd like to again. appreciate the quality of our relationships with. ladies and gentleman we had a volatile meeting with my french colleague mr along the way we discussed the issues of regional and international security we discussed military cooperation

in much detail which give you if you figure is this year we'll have sixty six and thence even though in two thousand and ten thousand and nine we only had fourteen two and two and so this gives you an idea of how relations are improving we have meetings at the level of experts in the chiefs of the general staff sent. but often we need at the level of defense ministers we discussed military technical cooperation and the further development of this cooperation is you'll know we have signed a contract for two helicopter carriers these trolls and we're currently working on contracts for a third and fourth. ships' we also discussed some issues related to modernizing the armed forces of both the russian federation and france we had a detailed discussion of every area related to the reorganization of our

armed forces i mean both hardware financial issues where. modernizing our equipment everything. we covered the story of european missile defense. once again we have expressed our concerns. russia's concerns on this issue and we also discussed this in the two plus two meeting so basically these are the issues that we covered in our meeting think you. know i give the floor to the french defense minister. we misuse it you know thank you very much at this moment we would like to confirm i would like to back up these statements of my colleague mr surgical and it was you know this is our first meeting. with. paris of moscow. this cooperation is not just an exchange between a ministry is an exchange of experiences we have certain operations that we're

conducting of different different origins is that. what i know is that we have a common approach in comes to the modernization of the army here. yes. we have a common approach to reducing the military staff. because we must better train our personnel. to adapt to different kinds of missions. we are beginning to know each other are different approaches. on terrain we are cooperating when it comes to pirate of the combating piracy. though. we are developing cooperation on african soil and your question soldiers are

learning from our experience in this field. when it comes to the construction of for two helicopter carriers a mistrial class. this will be partly realized in france partly in russia. three or four will be actually produced over here in moscow in russia. we are still talking about the employment of these of the usage of these ships. what i'd like to add. to what the foreign ministers were saying is that the usage of fancy ballistic missiles. we are holding. our unanimity of positions between france and russia that we do not want to see this missile defense. is to be frets to national security is

a fresh in france. and this is and. we can see that we do not want to see this as a new phase of. an arms race. you know we have partnership ties between with russia nato and frou frou the e.u. . would like to talk about the. interest that russia has in the operation in afghanistan this is a good sign. this. but now that he is down. in the concern that one of the countries surrounding afghanistan have to situation afghanistan is a very important element for us all to force this on and so we have expressed the

french point of view to the this transition process. to restoring the principles of responsibility when it comes to the situation in kabul. it's important to signal to the to the to my colleagues that our work has been very fruitful with. you this will now take a few questions and the first question goes to the french news agency and we have transgressed. question to mr hooper. from the us. do you think that the approach to the situation in syria that russia is still a very useful diplomatic partner when it comes to this question.

is do you think russia or france can still accept russia's position when it comes to syria. when answering to your question mo the answer is yes this is the this is this is. what i'm pretty used to these kind of questions. so in in some respect it is absolutely very important of. all and what we should always remember all the aspects of our partnership work russia is a very important and privileged partner when it comes to the pilot's role. playing of solving international issues you know that. we have. dialogue between with with mr medvedev mr putin. as it was. only when it comes to going up above and beyond the bilateral relations. this you with all of this all we do have certain differences. in syria and of the two the situation in

libya. but right now we are absolutely agreed that it is very important to participate in the construction of a democratic libya and a reconstruction of the company. so exchanging opinions sir could lead to solutions to all this i don't want to talk about syria here but when it comes to iran we have a totally common approach. so yes russia is still a very important and long term partner for. noble causes but we are not going i'm not here to talk about syria right now we're going to talking about this the security council who. is. the second question goes to you the russian you say you noticed the.

very end of the state who said your cell phone of my question is for defense ministers mr steady question mr longears you talked about cooperation between our two countries on the strolls well could you please clarify when are you going to sign a contract. about the third and fourth ships being built on russian ship at russian shipyards. perhaps i'll start you know we have already signed the contract for the first two ships with france. and besides these to ships we're also buying a few technologies related to should building in addition we'll train two crews here as for the third and fourth ships we are currently negotiating the deal. and will soon have the contract signed by the shore and should bolting corp and the
