The Korean and Russian presidents will likely meet alternately in Seoul and St. Petersburg every year starting 2010, the 20th anniversary of diplomatic relations.
A senior Russian diplomat on Monday said Korean and Russian leaders during President Lee Myung-bak's visit to St. Petersburg on Sept. 30 last year discussed holding a regular bilateral forum, and this has been approved by Russian President Dmitri Medvedev.
Since 2001, Russia has been holding annual summits with Germany alternately in Berlin and St. Petersburg, making Korea the second nation taking part in regular bilateral summits.
