The concept of 'Star Wars' policy refers to the Strategic Defense Initiative proposed by US President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, aimed at developing a missile defense system. The CSTO is participating in an international roundtable on its role in peace and stability.
VIENNA, May 19. /TASS/. Members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO, a Russia-led security bloc) strongly oppose reviving a "Star Wars" policy, President of the CSTO Permanent Council and Russia’s Permanent Representative to the organization Viktor Vasilyev said.
