MOSCOW. May 18 (Interfax) - Russia and the United States should fight international terrorism together, many of their strategic goals coincide, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Anatoly Antonov said.
The State Duma international affairs committee unanimously endorsed Antonov's candidacy for Russian ambassador to the U.S. earlier on Thursday.
"We should fight together, primarily against international terrorism as the main evil recognized as such by everyone. I believe that many strategic goals and objectives of the U.S. and Russia coincide," Antonov told reporters after the committee meeting.
