On 23 November, Italy’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Italian Atlantic Committee hosted an event to develop recommendations for NATO’s new Strategic Concept, especially in terms of transatlantic relations.
The forum brought together key experts from across the North-Atlantic community, including a number of key Italian NATO officials and experts, to discuss issues ranging from terrorism, cyber defence and energy security to partnerships, enlargement and NATO relations with the UN, the EU and other organisations.
“The debate over the definition of the new Strategic Concept will allow the possibility to preserve and consolidate the transatlantic link, confirming the centrality of NATO in the international security landscape,” said Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini.
“Today, NATO is called on to operate out of its traditional area with a different global partnership between Europe and the US according to a new agenda. NATO continues, however, to be a privileged political forum for the development of relations between both sides of the Atlantic.”
In September 2008, the Italian Atlantic Committee set up a Strategic Concept Working Group (SCWG) to offer a national perspective to the debate launched by the Alliance on its new Strategic Concept. The work of the SCWG aims to assist NATO’s decision-makers in considering all the relevant aspects and implications throughout the negotiating process that will lead to the new Concept.
