（单词翻译）

 　　Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and German Chancellor1 Angela Merkel discussed a wide range of topics on the second and final day of an annual Russian-German forum2 in Hanover, Germany.

　　The German and Russian leaders spoke3 Tuesday about their countries' business ties and international issues, including the ongoing4 Libya conflict and Europe's debt crisis.
　　Ties between Russia and Germany are generally viewed as solid, but they promised to address their disagreements frankly5 as they try to strengthen business ties.
　　Berlin is one of Russia's biggest trading partners, and Merkel and Medvedev signed several business agreements, including a deal to send more Russian natural gas to Germany.
　　At a joint6 news conference, Merkel said a European Union summit Thursday will not yield a quick and comprehensive solution to deal with the Greek debt crisis.
　　Medvedev appeared to drop a hint about his future political plans and desire to remain Russia's president. He said he and Merkel agreed they would not be chairing the forum soon. Traditionally, the leaders of Russia and Germany meet and speak at the forum, but do not chair it.
