IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

St Petersburg, Aug 14, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- Russian Defense 
Minister Sergei Ivanov said after his talks with US Defense Secretary 
Donald Rumsfeld on Saturday that Russia and the United States would 
conduct a large-scale joint naval exercise in the Norwegian Sea in 
September. 
"We`ve been successfully preparing for this exercise that will 
involve all the main forces of the Northern fleet. I think that the 
exercise will pass at a good level," the Russian defense minister went
on to say. 
He added that the training would prove the operational 
compatibility of the Russian and US navies.
