1. Achieving Permanence of the Denver formula for
Russian Participation
As Russia has been given an advanced role in what was formerly referred to as
the G7, Russia will wish to cement their role in the Summit of the Eight, seeking
language in the communiqué that will confirm the permanence of the higher
degree of participation seen at Denver.
2. Advanced Participation in the Economic Segment of the
Summit
Russia will also seek to advance their participation further into the economic
segment of the Summit and Summit processess, as is consistent with their long-term
goal of attaining full and equal status in all areas of the G7/G8.
3. Paris Club Membership
Russia will look for the Summit's approval of their membership bid to the
Paris Club as a creditor nation. Viewing the Paris Club as an essential step towards
their recovery of debts owed to the former-Soviet Union, Russia places a high priority
on membership and will wish the support of their fellow Summit members towards
this end.
4. OECD Membership and Fast-track Membership to the
WTO
Along with membership to the Paris Club, Russia will also seek
membership to the OECD as well as fast-track membership to the WTO. It is
important to Russia that the communiqué language support these endeavours.
