Moscow/Bonn Jan 19 (DPA-NT) - German Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel will travel to Moscow for a one-day visit on January 27 to discuss with his Russian counterpart Yevgeny Primakov the Chechenia crisis, the German embassy announced in Moscow Thursday. The meeting was arranged during a telephone conversation between German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and Russian President Boris Yeltsin during which Yeltsin briefed the chancellor on the military action against the Chechen rebels. The Bonn Foreign Office said Primakov also in a telephone conversation with Kinkel emphasized the continuity of Russian foreign policy. Primakov said there would be no change in the democratisation process and with the economic reform plans. The German Foreign Office said Kinkel expressed during the telephone conversation his "deep concern" at the heightening of tension in Chechenia and called for a political solution. dpa rg /AA1234/181651 Jan 96 nnnn
