Gadhafi hails energy cooperation with Moscow

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi said on Saturday that he hoped to boost energy cooperation with Moscow during his first visit to post-Soviet Russia. He told reporters that his talks with President Dmitri Medvedev would be dominated by economy and foreign policy issues and said Libya had "opened its doors" to Russian business. Gadhafi said Tripoli's relations with Moscow in Soviet times were defined by military and political ties, and "civil cooperation" with Russia should be expanded. Gadhafi, whose three-day visit began Friday, is expected to visit Prime Minister Vladimir Putin after talks with Medvedev at the Kremlin.
