Cameron looks forward to good discussions on trade, foreign policy.

LONDON (Itar-Tass) - The UK and Russia share a common
aim of tackling terrorism and preventing the proliferation of nuclear
weapons, UK Prime Minister David Cameron said in an exclusive interview
with Itar-Tass ahead of his official talks in Moscow on Monday.
"On foreign affairs, we share a common aim of tackling terrorism and
the extremist ideology that supports it, and preventing the proliferation
of nuclear weapons to countries like Iran," he said. "On Libya, both
Britain and Russia now recognize the National Transitional Council and
agreed at the recent Paris summit on the goal of a stable, democratic and
united Libya."
Speaking about such areas where UK-Russia cooperation could be
strengthened, Cameron noted that "at a time when the world is undergoing
fundamental changes it's essential that two leading countries - both
members of the UN Security Council and the G8 - are able to engage
effectively with each other to tackle the challenges and opportunities we
face."
"That's why we've put our relationship on a stronger footing in the
last year, and I look forward to good discussions on trade, foreign policy
and the rule of law," he said.
"Of course, Britain and Russia are both hosting the next Summer and
Winter Olympic Games so I'm sure we'll be working together on those," the
prime minister said. "I hope we can share experience of running a
successful London 2012 to help Russian preparations for the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014."
