FACTBOX: Main deals at Obama-Medvedev summit

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The United States and Russia reached agreements on Monday on arms cuts and Afghanistan during talks between President Barack Obama and Kremlin chief Dmitry Medvedev.

Below are details of the main agreements:

*ARMS CUTS

Obama and Medvedev agreed the outlines of a deal to reduce their strategic nuclear warheads to 1,500-1,675 within seven years of a new treaty coming into force.

The sides aim to agree a deal before the 1991 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) expires on December 5. The new deal will be a 10-year agreement.

Both sides are already committed to reducing their arsenals to between 1,700 and 2,200 warheads under the separate Moscow Treaty (SORT) that runs until 2012. But SORT does not include detail verifications procedures like START, which the new deal will include.

"The new treaty will include effective verification measures drawn from the experience of the parties in implementing START," said a White House fact sheet on the intended treaty.

* AFGHANISTAN

Russia agreed to allow the United States to fly weapons, hardware and personnel across its territory to Afghanistan.

Until now, the Pentagon could only transport non-lethal supplies across Russia, but other NATO member states such as Germany, France and Spain have more liberal agreements.

The new link would take some pressure off more dangerous routes via Pakistan and complement last month's extension of the U.S. airbase agreement in Central Asia's Kyrgyzstan.

The White House said the accord would enable the United States to diversity its transport routes and move troops and supplies to Afghanistan more quickly, and would allow it up to 4,500 flights a year. U.S. officials said this would save up to $133 million a year in transit costs.

*GOVERNMENT COMMISSION

The two leaders agreed to resurrect a joint body that was established in the 1990s but withered in the first term of former U.S. President George W Bush.

Known as the Gore-Chernomyrdin commission because of the participation of ex-U.S. Vice-President Al Gore and ex-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin.

The new commission will cover energy, nuclear energy, arms control, fighting terrorism and drug trafficking, efforts to boost business and scientific links.

The commission will be chaired by Obama and Medvedev with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as coordinators.

* MISSILE DEFENSE

The leaders played down differences at the Kremlin, saying they had agreed to continue to work together to evaluate global threats from ballistic missiles.

Noting that Obama had listened to Russian objections on missile defense, Medvedev used markedly softer language on the issue than Russian officials have done to date. "No one is saying that missile defense is harmful in itself or ... poses a threat to someone," Medvedev told the joint news conference.

"I believe that over time we will end up seeing that the U.S. and Russian positions on these issues can be reconciled and that in fact we have a mutual interest in protecting both our populations," Obama said of missile defense.

* MILITARY COOPERATION

Military chiefs signed a framework and a work plan for resuming military-to-military cooperation to enable bilateral activities suspended after the August 2008 war in Georgia.

They agreed to work on holding joint exercises on how to deal with a hijacked aircraft in international airspace and a naval military exercise.

They also announced they would revive a 1992 joint commission to help find missing personnel from World War II, Vietnam and Afghanistan that was frozen five years ago.

* NUCLEAR COOPERATION

The two sides hope their new nuclear weapons deal will act as a springboard to strengthen their stance at a major review of an aging international non-proliferation agreement next year.

Although Moscow and Washington control 95 percent of nuclear weapons they want to prevent the further spread of nuclear weapons beyond the declared nuclear powers to countries such as North Korea and Iran or non-state actors.

Obama's support for reducing nuclear weapons has already been credited with helping to break the deadlock and win support from the 189 signatories of the 1970 Non-Proliferation Treaty to agree an agenda for a major overhaul in 2010.

"The Presidents reiterated their commitment to strengthen cooperation to curb nuclear proliferation and prevent acts of nuclear terrorism," states a White House fact sheet on the main points of agreement.
