On his trip to Beijing, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin devoted all of yesterday to Russian-Chinese cooperation.

FIFA’s president, Joseph Blatter, is set to come to Russia for a two-day official visit on October 14th. His visit is connected with Russia’s hopes to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018 or 2022. Mr Blatter is expected to discuss this matter in detail with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

At a meeting on developing the pharmaceutical industry at the end of the last week Prime Minister Vladimir Putin emphasised that Russian doctors should not be paid for promoting medicines or lobbying for the interests of pharmaceutical companies.

In their opinion, lobbying is not prospering in hospitals and outpatient clinics but in the offices of those officials who compile lists of discounted medicines and treatment standards.
President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin went to the polls yesterday, just like ordinary Russians, to vote for new members of Moscow’s legislative assembly – the City Duma.
