Sentiment: POSITIVE
We'll uphold our treaty obligations, including the mutual defense agreement that is NATO.
We've had some fairly intensive discussions leading up to these meetings between NATO and Russia, preparing for them, and it's going to be a very important six months for NATO.
We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.
It will be undertaken, of course, in the June or July summit, and then to bring NATO closer to Russia or vice versa is a way to move toward integration - toward the integration of Europe.
NATO has a special relationship with countries far away from Europe: Australia, Japan, South Korea. They have joint projects and programmes which are being implemented without these countries becoming members of NATO.
For years, we have heard warnings that Europe needs to contribute more to NATO's capability.
The alliance should agree... to an effective NATO role against the new threats presented by international terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.
Our policy is European and Euro-Atlantic integration. There is no substitute for NATO.
We also have a real opportunity to join NATO.
For years, we have been asking the E.U. to create something similar to the Russia-NATO council. Not in order to simply exchange opinions and work out recommendations, but to make decisions.
