Tuesday, June 19 12:53 AM SGT Putin reassures Jiang about Bush MOSCOW, June 18 (AFP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin told his Chinese counterpart Jiang Zemin Monday that he feels there is a real chance of having constructive talks with US President George W. Bush, the Kremlin said. In a telephone conversation, Putin underscored to Jiang "the real possibility of maintaining a constructive and continued dialogue with George Bush," said the Kremlin statement. The call to Beijing followed a US-Russian summit in the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana on Saturday. Putin, who is seeking to counterbalance US influence in the world by aligning himself with China, sought Jiang's advice on the eve of Saturday's summit in Ljubljana. Moscow and Beijing oppose US plans to deploy a missile shield that Washington argues would protect its territory from attacks by so-called rogue states such as Iraq, North Korea and Iran. Putin and Jiang "confirmed their shared views on strategic stability," the Kremlin statement added. Bush came away from his talks with Putin sounding a positive note and saying that the former KGB official is a man Washington can do business with. But the two leaders continue to disagree on the need to boost missile defenses, with Moscow reasserting its view that it would be an unacceptable violation of the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) treaty. China and Russia has both said that the ABM treaty is a cornerstone of international security arrangements. Putin and Jiang also "have similar views concerning Kosovo and the Balkans," the Kremlin added. Putin traveled to Belgrade and Kosovo on Sunday. english.hk.dailynews.yahoo.com
