Special Report: President Hu Attends G20 London Summit 

    MOSCOW, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Russia is "fully satisfied" with the results of the G20 summit in London, Russian presidential aide Arkady Dvorkovich said here Tuesday.

    "We think steps were made along several directions compared with the Washington summit," Dvorkovich told a press conference.

    The presidential aide highlighted four points of progress made at the London summit, according to the Itar-Tass news agency.

    First, a step forward in the preparedness to reach agreements; second, fulfillment of the specific provisions of the Washington plan, such as the decision on offshore zones and on modernization of accounting standards.

    "Number three, the summit passed a resolution on setting up a Financial Stability Council and voiced the readiness to work within its format," he said.

    The fourth point is "many of our ideas were perceived readily and preparedness to continue work on them also exists," he added.

    Although the issue of creating a supra-national reserve currency was not discussed at the summit, Dvorkovich said a broad discussion had been initiated on this issue, according to Interfax.

    "Our goal was to orientate the discussion towards this issue," he said, "A discussion is underway in the world and it will continue. A greater role of regional currencies is a natural trend which no one is going to resist."

    When speaking to foreign journalists on March 30, Dvorkovich said Russia and China "have similar positions" on the reform of the international financial system. He also said Russian ruble and Chinese yuan should be included in the basket of IMF's Special Drawing Rights.
