Russian president accepts Aleksander Kwasniewski's invitation to visit Warsaw

President Aleksander Kwasniewski said the ice had been broken and doors for cooperation between Poland and Russia had been swung wide open after meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladmir Putin. Kwasniewski also said his counterpart had accepted an invitation to visit Warsaw in the near future. The other talks concerned the imminent unveiling of Katyn and Miednoje cemeteries, the site of the Soviet killings of Polish officers in the forties. The two leaders also discussed the prospects of another gas pipeline linking Russia to Western Europe via Poland. A Polish-Russian economic forum was also held in Moscow with business people and politicians exchanging views on an array of issues including deep sea fishing in Russian waters by Polish fishermen.
