Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas started a three-day visit to Moscow on Sunday to discuss the Palestinian-Israeli peace process and the situation in the Middle East with Russian leaders.
Abbas "attaches great significance to this trip and plans to discuss the situation in the Middle East and on Palestinian lands with the Russian administration," Itar-Tass news agency quoted Ahmed Musleh Saleh, an adviser at the Palestinian embassy in Moscow, as saying.
The visit by Abbas, head of the Palestinian National Authority, was initially scheduled for June but was postponed when the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) seized control of the Gaza Strip in mid June.
