MOSCOW (CNN) -- NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana arrived in Moscow for a meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Yevgeny Primakov on Sunday, ahead of a tour of former Soviet republics in Central Asia.

Russia is firmly opposed to NATO's plans to expand into Eastern Europe; the talks are the third round between the two aimed at soothing Russia's fears over the coming expansion.
