Pan down from plane to convoy leaving the airport STORYLINE US Vice President Joe Biden touched down in Bucharest on Wednesday night for the second stop of his three nation tour aimed at reassuring Washington's allies in the region of its support. Biden was met by the US ambassador to Romania, Mark H. Gitenstein. The vice president will meet Romanian President Traian Basescu and deliver a speech to students on regional security during his one-day visit on Thursday. Earlier in the day, Biden welcomed a statement by Poland's prime minister saying that his country was ready to participate in US President Barack Obama's revamped plan for a US missile defence system in Europe. Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk welcomed the Obama administration's proposal for a missile shield that would replace a previous version planned for Poland. The Obama administration scrapped a Bush-era plan that would have put 10 missile interceptors in Poland and a radar base in the Czech Republic to intercept long-range missiles launched from countries considered "rogue states" by the administration of former President George W. Bush. Instead, the Obama administration has proposed a reconfigured system that envisions putting the US Navy's Standard Missile-3 on ships and land-based versions in Europe. The Pentagon says the anti-ballistic missile is the most technically advanced and cost-effective way to counter Iran's anticipated arsenal. Biden will travel to the Czech Republic on Friday to finish his tour. All three of the ex-communist countries on Biden's trip have enjoyed close ties with the US since Soviet-backed regimes fell 20 years ago. They have thrown their support behind Washington in its fight against militant extremism, contributing troops to the US-led war in Iraq and the NATO mission in Afghanistan. Poland and Romania also face allegations of having hosted secret CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) prisons. Both countries deny the accusations. Recently, regional leaders voiced nervousness that the Obama administration was ignoring the area's interests amid its push to reset relations with Russia - a power still deeply feared in eastern Europe. Biden's visit aims to reassure the region during his trip that Washington will not strike any deals with Russia over the heads of its allies.
