MAKHACHKALA, April 7 (RIA Novosti) - Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will start a two-day visit to Russia's North Caucasus Republic of Daghestan later on Tuesday, a spokesman for the republic's president said.

"The Palestinian National Authority delegation will arrive in Makhachkala at approximately 17:00 Moscow time on Tuesday [13:00 GMT]," he said.

"The delegation comprises ten people, including Secretary General of the Palestine Liberation Organization's Executive Committee Yasser Abd Rabbo and Palestinian Minister of Social Affairs and Agriculture Mahmoud Al-Habash," the spokesman added.

Shortly after his arrival, Abbas will meet with the president of Daghestan, Mukhu Aliyev.
