MOSCOW - Russia and the US said yesterday they had made progress in narrowing gaps over NATO expansion plans but that tough issues still had to be resolved to meet a May 27th target for signing a NATO-Russia charter.
"We may have somewhat narrowed the differences," the US Secretary of State, Ms Madeleine Albright, told reporters after talks with the Russian Foreign Minister, Mr Yevgeny Primakov. "We still have some way to go." Mr Primakov took a similar line.
