Bush Called Russia’s President a Smart Guy
U.S. President George Bush called Russia’s President Dmitry Medvedev “a smart guy” who understands the issues. Bush made the respective statement after meeting Medvedev at the Group of Eight (G8) Hokkaido Toyako summit.
“I'm not going to sit here and psychoanalyze the guy. He is comfortable and competent, and I believe when he tells me something,” Bush said.
In his turn, Medvedev emphasized that the presidency of George Bush hasn’t expired and he is willing to bring momentum to the negotiations with him. He said he was going to build up relations with future president of the United States.
Medvedev will meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and Britain’s PM Gordon Brown during the G8 summit. Personal contacts of the world leaders aimed at working out some common stance has been always one of the highlights at Hokkaido.
