MINISTERIAL STATEMENT
Classified By: Ambassador V. Nuland; reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
1. (C) Following today's NATO-Russia-reinforced meeting on
Missile Defense, USNATO strongly recommends that we try to
negotiate a NATO-Russia Council (NRC) agreed statement for
release after the Oslo Foreign Ministers' NRC meeting on
April 29. The following draft text for the April 29 Oslo
NATO-Russia Council (NRC) Ministerial statement has been
cleared by USD(P) Edelman, A/S Rood and MDA Dir. LTGEN
Obering. Mission requests urgent approval by OOB tomorrow,
Friday, April 20, to begin shopping the text to Allies:
- NATO Allies and Russia welcomed progress in developing
NATO-Russia cooperation on theatre missile defense. We noted
the potential for broader cooperation in this area and look
forward to continued dialogue on missile defense issues. NRC
Ministers noted the results of the 19 April 2007 reinforced
meeting on missile defense, and tasked the NATO-Russia
Council to explore possibilities for cooperation in this
area. Ministers recognize that we jointly face a new
strategic environment and that we will all gain by sharing
ideas and cooperating to develop responses to new threats and
concerns in order to contribute to NRC member states'
security.
