U.S. secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton will pay a two-day visit of Russia next week, during which she will discuss a new nuclear arms reduction pact with her Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov.

This was disclosed by Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko Thursday.

Clinton and Lavrov will discuss issues concerning efforts in the direction of non-proliferation ahead of the Nuclear Security Global Summit, to be held in Washington next month, the spokesman said.

A new agreement, replacing the cold war-era Strategic Arms Reductions Treaty (START), which expired on December 5, is expected to be signed as soon as possible, according to him.
