NATO Seeks New Partners to Combat Proliferation

NATO is seeking partners beyond the alliance to help combat WMD proliferation and terrorism, NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said yesterday (see GSN, May 4).

NATO is examining increasing its cooperation with countries in the Caucasus region and in Central Asia, de Hoop Scheffer said during a speech before the Romanian Parliament.

“Terrorism and proliferation are global challenges,” de Hoop Scheffer said. “To combat them, we require coalitions even bigger than NATO,” he added (Agence France-Presse/SpaceWar.com, May 13).
