agent in government in this case he would never have become the u.k.'s prime minister the official visit at this level and yet on quite a light no lots of laughs there after that joke about the k.g.b. and david cameron also met with prime minister vladimir putin and members of the civil society where the focus there was on human rights professor of politics at university of kent dr adrian pab says the u.k. and russia are currently facing many similar economic difficulties which to govern together they could overcome. britain and russia suffer from a lack of diversification just as britain depends too much in financial services the rest of the pens too much on natural resources like oil and gas that both economies need to diversify but this is not just a national issue for them this is also a global issue we know that a huge imbalance is there's lots of hot money circulating that money needs to be channeled into productive activities in britain in russia and elsewhere and i think there is mutual benefit from cooperate in areas like technology where brita
