Georgia President Mikheil Saakashvili said at a joint news briefing after the talks with visiting Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov on June 3 that he is ready to visit Moscow, but wants ?to host Russian President Vladimir Putin first.?

?We will possibly sign the framework agreement, but even if it does not occur [signing of this agreement], I will host Russian President with great pleasure,? Mikheil Saakashvili said.
