SOCHI, September 30 (RIA Novosti) - Russia's economic development and trade minister said Saturday he positively assessed a regular round of talks with the United States on Russia's accession to the World Trade Organizations.

Russia has completed bilateral talks with 55 of the 58 members of the world's largest trade body. Negotiations are continuing with the U.S., Moldova and Georgia.

"The talks are rather constructive," German Gref told journalists at an international economic forum in the Krasnodar Region in Russia's south while commenting on the regular WTO talks' round underway in the U.S.

"I hope we will manage to resolve all issues with our colleagues," the minister said, without specifying the time when the talks would be completed.

Earlier it was reported that Russia and the U.S. would remove all arguable issues by late October.

The Russian delegation flew to the U.S. September 27. Earlier Gref told journalists the two countries still had a number of unsettled agricultural problems.

Supplies from U.S. to Russia of beef and pork were in particular discussed at the previous round of WTO talks in July in St. Petersburg.
