Prague - In advance of the Czech president's visit to Russia, United States President George W Bush and his Czech counterpart Vaclav Klaus had a telephone conversation about US anti- missile defence on Wednesday night, Klaus' spokesman Petr Hajek said Thursday.
'Both presidents...discussed issues related to the missile defence and spoke about the upcoming visit of President Bush to Prague,' Hajek said in a statement, which described the conversation as friendly.
Klaus, who is scheduled to arrive in Moscow Thursday afternoon, is to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, his press office said.
Bush is scheduled to visit Prague - in order to throw his support behind the US plans to deploy a radar base for its anti-missile shield in the Czech Republic - before a G8 meeting in Germany in early June.
