The German press focuses on relations
with the USA and Russia after
Chancellor Angela Merkel visited the
former ahead of talks in Moscow.
Die Welt hails her talks with President
Bush as a success and notes she had an
instant rapport with the US leader.
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung says her
"biggest advantage" in Washington was
that she succeeded Gerhard Schroeder,
who opposed the US invasion of Iraq.
But Die Tageszeitung says she faces a
tricky balancing act visiting Russia.
