Russia wants predictable relations with NATO - Rogozin

Russia wants predictable relations with NATO. A statement to that effect was made by the Russian Ambassador to NATO Dmitry Rogozin as he appeared on Russia’s “Rossiya 24” Television Channel.

NATO’s strategy for the next few years, and its relations with other international organizations, was on the agenda of a session of the Russia-NATO Council in Brussels on Wednesday. 

According to Dmitry Rogozin, Russia will cooperate with NATO on issues of common interest and seek a negotiated settlement in the case of conflicting issues. This, he added, is what Russia wants of NATO’s new strategy which will span the next 10-15 years. As for the current cooling of Russian-NATO relations, the Russian ambassador said this is because the alliance’s newly admitted members from among East European countries are setting western states against Russia.
