On 30 November, NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen joined the Atlantic Council of the United States in Washington, D.C. by video teleconference to report on the results of the NATO Summit in Lisbon, Portugal.
"This summit has been a historic success, and this is not just small talk," the Secretary General told ACUS's board of directors. "We are about to create an Alliance that is more effective, more engaged, and more efficient."
Secretary General Rasmussen discussed NATO's new Strategic Concept, the Alliance’s strategy for transition of security responsibility in Afghanistan, new political partnerships, command structure reform, civilian capabilities, and a ballistic missile defence system planned for Europe. "After Lisbon, NATO has truly entered the 21st century," he said.
The discussion was moderated by Atlantic Council Board Director Stephen J. Hadley, former National Security Advisor in the George W. Bush Administration.
