(C) Poloff delivered points contained in reftel to MFA NATO
Division official Andreas Kintis April 14. In an April 26
follow-up conversation, Kintis said Greece strongly supported
the idea of expanding NATO's global partnerships. In
particular, he said, the Alliance should look at ways to
expand partnerships with security providers like Australia,
New Zealand, and Japan. That said, Greece had some concern
that the Alliance might get bogged down in technical details
if it tried to create a more formal structure like the "NATO
Security Providers Forum."
