Conference focuses on Ukraine’s national security policy
23 March 2009
1 MIN READ
Over 90 high-level officials and defence and security experts from Ukraine and NATO member countries discussed the military and non-military security challenges facing Ukraine in the 21st century and possible responses to them, at a major conference in Germany from 23 to 25 March.
The First Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, Stepan Havrysh, headed up the Ukrainian delegation. The NATO delegation was led by Assistant Secretary General for Defence Policy and Planning, Jiři Šedivý.
The event also served to review the implementation of Ukraine’s national security policy. This included an assessment of the effectiveness of inter-agency cooperation in developing security and defence policies and undertaking defence and security reform.
More broadly, the discussions contributed to the further development of NATO-Ukraine relations. In particular, participants addressed the defence and security-related aspects of Ukraine’s first Annual National Programme (ANP), which is currently being developed.
The planning conference, which took place under the auspices of the NATO-Ukraine Joint Working Group on Defence Reform (JWGDR), was co-organized by the George C. Marshall European Center for Security Studies, the German Ministry of Defence, and NATO.
The event generated recommendations for joint work, which will be considered at the senior-level meeting of the JWGDR that is due to take place in Warsaw, Poland, on 13 and 14 May.
