Defining a new level of partnership with Russia and exploring ways of developing this relationship was the purpose of NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson's visit to Russia, 21-23 November.
During his meetings with President Putin and top government officials, the need for a frank discussion to determine additional areas of cooperation and establish a mechanism to develop a potentially reinforced relationship was raised. The 11 September terrorist attacks were the catalyst for this review of NATO-Russia relations. An increased level of cooperation is now being considered to counter new security challenges that have emerged in addition to terrorism, such as organised crime, proliferation and peacekeeping.
Further discussions will take place to establish the form and extent of this new relationship, which aims for a greater exchange of information on a greater number issues of common interest. Russia has openly stated that it does not want to become a NATO member, but reiterated its desire to further develop relations with the Alliance, in line with the NATO-Russia Founding Act signed in 1997, excluding any right of veto over NATO decisions.
