Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission

Vice President Gore and Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin are co-chairs of a commission set up by Presidents Clinton and Yeltsin at the Vancouver Summit in June 1993. The U.S.-Russian Joint Commission on Economic and Technological Cooperation has held three meetings, the last of which was in Washington, D.C. on June 22-23, 1994. The Commission provides a framework for promoting a partnership between the United States and Russia based on principles enumerated in earlier declarations. These include a shared commitment to democracy and human rights; a market economy and the rule of law; and international peace and stability. The Commission's work is an effort to realize concrete benefits from this partnership.
