NATO Secretary General, Lord Robertson, travelled to Warsaw, 13-14 February 2002, to meet Prime Minister Leszek Miller, Foreign Minister Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz and Defence Minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski.
Among the issues discussed were the implementation of Poland's defence reform, the evolution of NATO's relations with Russia, the enlargement process and initiatives currently being developed by the Alliance to combat terrorism.
Lord Robertson also met the Speaker of the Parliament and of the Senate, and top military officials. He was invited to give a speech on "Building Security in an uncertain world" in which he highlighted the need for the Alliance to adapt to new security threats, improve European and Canadian forces and reinforce NATO-Russia relations. "I recognise, he stated, that there are quite a few people who get nervous whenever we talk about closer cooperation with Russia. Many in Russia feel the same way about closer cooperation with NATO. [?] The real threats to our security, from regional instability to the proliferation of ballistic missile technology and nuclear, biological and chemical agents, to terrorism, to cyber-warfare, to organised crime, do not recognise borders and are faced by NATO Allies and Russia alike. Isolating or ignoring Russia would only hobble our response to those dangers".
