NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen discussed further institutional interaction and international issues of common concern with Mr. Peter Maurer, President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), on Wednesday (29 January). The meeting was part of regular high-level consultations between the two organisations.
Mr. Fogh Rasmussen updated Mr. Maurer on progress in the mission in Afghanistan including planning for a new mission to train, advise and assist the Afghan security forces as well as the Alliance’s priorities for the 2014 NATO Summit in Wales. The Secretary General commended the active and important role played by the ICRC in providing humanitarian aid to those in need of assistance. He also welcomed the current substantial level of dialogue between NATO and the ICRC on humanitarian issues in Afghanistan and in other operational theatres as well as during NATO training courses and exercises.
NATO and the ICRC have a longstanding relationship guided by a Memorandum of Understanding. The agreement outlines how the two organisations consult on humanitarian issues and sets out how international humanitarian law aspects are covered in NATO military training and exercises.
