Poland needs the US missile defense system and military cooperation tops all its cooperation with the United States, Polish Minister of National Defense Jerzy Szmajdzinski said on Saturday.

Szmajdzinski was responding to questions from the press concerning Poland's bid to join the US missile defense system.

Szmajdzinski said the initial aim of the United States to develop the missile defense system is to protect itself and it has now proposed to develop a missile defense system that can also protect all NATO nations, a move welcomed by Europe.

According to reports reaching here, Poland has asked to join the US missile defense system by setting up on its soil a long-range radar headquarters in Central Europe.

A delegation from the US State Department visited Poland late in July when the two sides agreed to further discuss Poland's bid to join the US missile defense system.
