Russia, China Say They Can Do Business with Bush
Monday June 18 12:53 PM ET

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The leaders of Russia and China discussed George W. Bush Monday and agreed they could do business with the new U.S. president but remain unconvinced by his missile defense plans, the Kremlin said.

Vladimir Putin briefed Jiang Zemin about Bush by telephone, two days after he met the new U.S. president for the first time, at a stop on Bush's debut overseas tour.

``The president of Russia underlined that there are real perspectives for wide-ranging and constructive dialogue with G. Bush,'' the Kremlin said in a statement. It said the Chinese president had also expressed a desire for dialogue.

But on strategic stability questions, which cover the hotly contested issue of missile defense, ``Putin and Jiang elucidated the agreement between the Russian and Chinese positions and their readiness for further cooperation.''

Moscow and Beijing are the two most vocal opponents of Bush's plans to build a missile defense shield which would require ditching or rewriting the cornerstone 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile treaty.
