Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START I)

The presidents of Russia and the U.S., Dmitry Medvedev and Barack Obama, agreed on Friday to sign a new arms reduction treaty in Prague on April 8, the White House said in a statement.

The White House also said that the new pact stipulates the reduction of warheads to 1,550 on each side.

The Russian president's press secretary said that the two leaders announced the date and place of the signing after a telephone conversation on Friday.

"The presidents thanked each other for cooperation. Medvedev said that the deal reflects the balance of interests of both states," Natalya Timakova said.
