The Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen's talks with French Defence Minister Hervé Morin today allowed a fruitful exchange of views on Afghanistan and particularly on the training of the Afghan security forces, which needs to be speeded up yet further.
The Secretary General thanked France for its contribution to ISAF. The need for instructors is ongoing, and the Secretary General discussed with Minister Morin what help France could provide to meet this pressing requirement, which is key to transfering to the Afghans responsibility for their own security.
The Secretary General also discussed the prospect of missile defence with the Minister. On this issue, the Secretary General outlined his vision of missile defence recognized as one of NATO's missions.
Finally, he thanked Minister Morin for his support in regard to current and future reforms, with a view to profound transformation of the Alliance this year. The Minister and the Secretary General found that their views on this issue coincide to a large extent.
