The Center's leadership are determined to work together with the Russian government in the security area, assured James Schlessinger, former US Defense Secretary and now a senior fellow at the Nixon Center. He said that the war on terrorism concerned Russia just as well as it did the United States.
The meeting was timed to coincide with US State Secretary Colin Powell's visit to Russia.
The Richard Nixon Center was founded by the ex-president of the United States in January 1994. This is one of the major think tanks to shape US foreign policies. Its leadership, including former State Secretary Henry Kissinger, advocate conservative views.
