BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday
denounced a US plan to deploy missile defense sites in Eastern Europe,
calling it a threat to the region.
Ahmadinejad spoke at the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization
(SCO), which includes China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan
and Uzbekistan. Iran has observer status in the SCO.
The US says it wants to deploy missile defense sites in Poland and the
Czech Republic to deflect potential threats from Iran. But Russia has
objected to the initiative as a threat to its own security and the
balance of forces in Europe.
Russian President Vladimir Putin told the summit that "any attempts to
solve global and regional problems unilaterally are hopeless" and called
for "strengthening a multi-polar international system that would ensure
equal security and opportunities for all countries."
