MOSCOW — International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde takes her European rescue talks to petrodollar-rich Russia on Monday before visiting Asian giants China and Japan.
Lagarde’s two-day stay in Moscow — her first official foreign trip outside the European Union — will include talks on Monday with President Dmitry Medvedev and meetings at the finance ministry and the central bank.
The Kremlin said the European public debt crisis will dominate negotiations just as it had done at the recently concluded Group of 20 summit in Cannes.
