For Immediate Release September 7, 1993
STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY
President Clinton spoke by phone today with President Boris
Yeltsin of Russia for about 40 minutes to discuss several
bilateral and foreign policy issues.
President Clinton reiterated strong U.S. support for Russian
political and market reform and the work of President Yeltsin and
the Russian government to keep those reforms on track. They
discussed the status of existing and prospective U.S. assistance
for the reform process.
The President agreed that last week's meeting in Washington
of the Joint Commission on Energy and Space, led by Vice
President Gore and Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin, was a
great success. They also agreed on the need for further
progress, particularly on a number of U.S. private sector energy
investment projects.
Turning to the Middle East, the Presidents welcomed the
historic progress in negotiations between Israel and the PLO in
recent weeks and pledged to work together to promote peace in the
Middle East region.
On other foreign policy issues, President Yeltsin briefed
the President on his recent trip to Ukraine. President Clinton
welcomed the progress achieved by President Yeltsin and President
Kravchuk, particularly regarding the nuclear weapons now deployed
in Ukraine. The President affirmed U.S. interest in working with
both parties to assist in the resolution of outstanding issues.
The President congratulated President Yeltsin on the
withdrawal of Russian forces from Lithuania last week and
reaffirmed U.S. support for a rapid and complete withdrawal of
forces from Latvia and Estonia. The two leaders also discussed
their support for the ongoing effort to promote peace in Bosnia.
