1 MIN READ
NATO Secretary General, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, held his first meeting with President Obama in the White House on March 25, 2009. They discussed the operation in Afghanistan, a priority for NATO and the United States.
President Obama outlined the main elements of the US review, and they looked forward to a discussion at the Strasbourg/Kehl Summit of the US approach, and how it fits with the broader Alliance effort in Afghanistan.
They also exchanged views on relations with Russia, both stressing the importance of improving cooperation and trust with Russia, without compromising on core Alliance principles, including enlargement.
Finally, they extensively discussed the future of NATO, and how a new Strategic Concept process might shape an agreed and forward leaning vision for NATO's roles in the 21st century.
