Russian, Belarussian presidents to meet in Belarus

MOSCOW, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and his Belarussian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko are to meet in Belarus in two weeks, the Kremlin said on Tuesday.

"The leaders of the two states came to an agreement to meet in Brest, Belarus, on June 22, Memory Day, which is observed in both countries," the Kremlin press service said.

Memory Day commemorates the 1941 attack on the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany, which caused the Soviet Union to join World War II.

Medvedev and Lukashenko met in Russia's north capital of St. Petersburg last week.
