This will create a more effective early-warning system for potential crises. And we hope that such recommendations will not simply be stirred into the mix, but will be subject to the most intense scrutiny by the various countries wherever they detect an adverse trend in the economy.

Another result of our efforts concerns the new format. In fact we have decided to institutionalise the G20 itself, to consider the G20 as something other than simply a forum for times of crisis, but rather as a permanent economic forum that devotes itself to important economic decisions regarding the fate of the global economy.

A year ago this seemed absolutely impossible. In and of itself the idea arose as a result of reaction to the crisis. But today this decision was made, and the G20 has now assumed its full rights. This is also very important. But it means that other formats must be reinforced as well. Because the G20 is of course is a collection of the world's largest economies, thats true, but there are more than twenty countries and twenty economies in the world. Therefore, we need to think about how to reinforce the interaction between the G20 and other countries that do not belong to this club.

Here I think the best way to proceed is to use various powers of the United Nations as the best and most legitimate way of accommodating peoples interests. And my speech and those of my colleagues at the General Assembly session explicitly evoked this idea: the number of those in favour of collective responses to the challenges of our times is growing. I hope that the period has passed in which countries sought to marginalise the UN by dismissing it as the most inefficient and useless structure ever created. Anyway, in my view the worlds leaders, including the U.S. President, spoke in favour of this idea of a collective response.

In my speech to the General Assembly session - I hope you paid attention to this - I talked about the need of a unifying agenda, taking into account the interests of all countries in an emerging, multipolar, international system.

I also drew particular attention to the fact that the speech of the President of the United States of America, Barack Obama, stated that in contemporary life it is impossible to imagine a situation in which one country dominates the world. This is an important claim to make.

The Security Council of the United Nations has become another important forum. The initiative came from the Americans and we support it. The resolution that was passed is a very good one. It makes a significant contribution to resolving the issues of nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament. It is also important that in the whole history of the UN this is one of the few occasions when the Security Council of the United Nations was attended by the leaders themselves. The leaders voted, raising their hands in favour of the resolution. This reinforces the framework of the UN and UN Security Council, and that is a good thing.

We have agreed with our American partners and with other countries to participate in the preparation of the summit on nuclear safety in Washington. It will be held in April 2010. This also constitutes a contribution to the overall agenda.

We held talks with the President of the United States of America. This is already our third meeting in a short period. Im sure that you will have questions, but I want to say that of course his visit to Moscow enabled us to adopt a plan of action for establishing a bilateral commission on cooperation. Now we are engaged in its implementation. We designated the ministers of foreign affairs to coordinate this work, that is, Mr Lavrov and Mrs Clinton. We have considered different issues. We talked about replacing the START Treaty with a new instrument. There is a feeling that we are making progress. We will try to find time to prepare a new document by the deadline.
