During the visit, Russia and the United States will sign an agreement allowing lethal U.S. military cargoes to be delivered to Afghanistan through Russian territory, bypassing a more dangerous route via Pakistan.

Prikhodko also said Russia was cooperating with the United States on North Korea and Iran, two more issues to be discussed by Obama and Medvedev.
