Madam Secretary, Dear Hillary,
As Chairman of the NATO-Russia Council, I would like to
invite you to attend a meeting of the NATO-Russia Council at
the level of Foreign Ministers in Corfu on 27 June.
The NRC Foreign Ministerial meeting in Corfu will give a
high-level political signal that the twenty-nine members of
the NATO-Russia Council have agreed to re-launch their
relations, on the basis of shared interests, despite
remaining disagreements. The meeting will also underscore
our continued joint commitment to the NATO- Russia Founding
Act and the Rome Declaration.
The NRC Foreign Ministerial meeting will also provide NRC
members with an opportunity to examine how to take the NRC
forward in order to make it a more efficient and valuable
instrument for our political dialogue and practical
cooperation. It will provide NRC Ambassadors, as well as our
Military Representatives, with much needed guidance for the
continuation of our joint projects and cooperative activities
of mutual interest.
While looking forward to your reply and participation in
Corfu, I avail of this opportunity, Minister, to express to
you my highest consideration.
Yours ever,
/s/
Jaap de Hoop Scheffer
The Honorable
Mrs Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State of the United States of AMERICA
Washington
