Officials from Kremlin and White House gather at informal meeting in Barvikha

An informal meeting of Cabinet members and heads of the Russian
presidential administration is being held in Castle Mayendorf in
Barvikha.

As expected, the participants of the meeting will later be joined by
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev,
RIA-Novosti reports.

"Sometimes it makes sense to meet in an informal setting. These
meetings used to happen before as well, only without the media" Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich told
reporters.
