May 17, 2009, 8:17 GMT

Washington - US President Barack Obama will make visits to Russia, the G8 Summit in Italy and Ghana during a six-day trip in July, the White House announced Saturday.

Obama was scheduled to arrive on July 6 in Moscow for meetings with Russian President Dimitri Medvedev.

The US and Russian leaders are expected to discuss nuclear weapons reductions, nuclear non-proliferation and missile defense, which has been a top issue of disagreement between Washington and Moscow.

On July 8, Obama will leave Russia for the annual summit of leaders of the Group of Eight, which combines the seven major industrialized economies and Russia, being held in L'Aquila, Italy. Obama will lead a meeting of the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate before his departure on July 10.

He will be in Accra, Ghana, from July 10-11 for meetings with Ghanaian President John Evans Atta Mills.
