Summary 1995

 

NATO-Russian relations undergo a significant transformation when Russia joins the Partnership for Peace Programme in May 1995 and simultaneously NATO and Russia institute a more specific programme of dialogue and cooperation. After preliminary talks in 1996, negotiations conducted by NATO's Secretary General Solana and Russian Foreign Minister Primakov in the first five months of 1997 will lead to the signature of the NATO-Russia Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security. Signed in Paris at the end of May 1997, the agreement includes the establishment of a NATO-Russia Permanent Joint Council (PJC) which has since become the principal forum for cooperation between NATO and the Russian Federation. By October of the same year, Russia has appointed a permanent military representative to NATO.
