EU defense ministers to talk about EU-NATO cooperation in Bratislava

Xinhua, September 26, 2016 Adjust font size:

EU defence ministers at an informal session here between Sept. 26 and 27 are to talk about the implementation of defense aspects of the EU global strategy in areas of foreign and security policies, the defense ministry informed on Monday.

Ministers will also talk about common steps against hybrid threats and about cyber security. EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini is to chair the negotiations on Tuesday. The session will also be attended by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg. The two officials are expected to discuss the implementation of the Warsaw Declaration that came out of the July NATO summit and EU-NATO cooperation.

During a working lunch, the ministers are expected to discuss missions and operations under the common security and defense policy with a focus on Libya and the Sahel area -- the ecoclimatic and biogeographic zone of transition in Africa between the Sahara to the north and the Sudanian Savanna to the south.
