US, Russia haven't resolved dispute over US plans for a missile shield in space.
New Delhi: The US and Russia have failed to resolve their dispute over American plans for a missile shield in space.
US Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary, Robert Gates however said on Friday they will continue talks to thrash out an agreement with Russia in this regard.
Rice and Gates had brought new proposals to reduce fears that the missile shield threatened Russian security.
But Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, speaking at a news conference with Rice and Gates, said these proposals needed more study and Washington should halt work on the shield in the meantime.
Rice and Lavrov also clashed publicly on how to tackle Iran's nuclear ambitions.
