NATO-Russia Council, Foreign Ministers' meeting (26/06/2009)
NATO-Russia Council (NRC) Foreign Ministers will meet in Corfu on 27 June. David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, will represent the UK.
The NATO-Russia partnership is of strategic importance in fostering security in the Euro-Atlantic area. While relations have suffered from profound disagreements, including following events in Georgia, we share important common security interests and remain fully committed to working towards a common approach on the basis of trust, which needs to be rebuilt, fulfilment of commitments, transparency and full equality to meet the challenges to peace and security in the Euro-Atlantic area.
Ambassador Sir Stewart Eldon will report from Corfu on his thoughts of the meeting, including on the general direction of travel for the NRC.
