Kirchner Says Seeing Russia as Threat to Global Security ‘Absurd

Russia is a major global actor, and presenting Moscow as a threat to global security is “absurd,” Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said in an exclusive interview with RT on Thursday.

“Presenting Russia as a threat seems absurd to me,” Kirchner told RT.

Kirchner stressed that the unipolar world, in which one country’s law is acknowledged to be the only correct law for every country, is a thing of the past.

She highlighted that no one can proclaim the “monopoly of friendship,” and Argentina is free to choose strategic partners.

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow earlier in the day.

Following the meeting, the two sides have signed a number of strategic cooperation agreements.
