Russian President tours Silicon valley

While browsing through Silicon Valley this week, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev made sure to spare a little time for Apple CEO Steve Jobs. In the picture below, the President can be seen walking through the offices with Jobs, and appear to be having a casual conversation. This was just one stop for the Russian President, as he also stopped by Twitter offices and tweeted out a picture with his new official English Twitter feed. Aside from that, Medvedev also spent some time with Cisco chief executive John Chamber and San Francisco Mayer Gavin Newsom.

After the day-long tour of Silicon Valley, Dmitry Medvedev made his way to the Stanford University, where he made comments regarding possible business partnerships with the West. The President also touched on possible economy and business growth through new technologies, and how Russia is also in need of reforming its education and health care systems.
