ROME, Italy, April 24: US and Russian negotiators emerged optimistic on Friday from talks aimed at creating a new treaty to reduce their nuclear weapon stockpiles. The goal is to replace the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, or START, before it expires in December. The seminal deal capped the number of warheads and reduced ways of delivering them. Both sides have said they are ready for further cuts. Negotiators said Friday´s meeting focused on procedural issues, setting the pace for further discussions. More meetings will take place in Washington and Moscow in the next two months.
