NATO to hold meeting at Ministerial level with Ukraine and Georgia next week

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg stated this at a press briefing following the meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Commission, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

“NATO has increased its presence in the Black Sea region on land, but also with air policing over the Black Sea region, including the Black Sea, and we have a regular NATO presence in the Black Sea, with naval capabilities.  Then of course we have three littoral states: Romania, Turkey and Bulgaria; and we have two very close partners: Ukraine and Georgia.  And we are working with the two partners and we will also meet next week, here at Ministerial level, with Foreign Minister Klimkin.  He will come to NATO and we will meet with Foreign Minister Klimkin, but also with Georgia, and we will discuss issues also of course related to security in the Black Sea region,” he said.
