| The Bucharest Summit and the Way Forward for NATO
Fried, Daniel
Testimony Before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Subcommittee on Europe, April 23, 2008
"NATO is not just a military alliance; it is an alliance of values that provided the foundation for freedom’s victory in the Cold War. While its core mission remains the same – the defense of its members – NATO is achieving this in new ways. It is evolving into a 21st century role, enlarging the area in Europe where freedom is secure, defending this transatlantic community against new threats and challenges that are often global in scope, and building partnerships around the globe with like-minded countries who want to work together with NATO to face these challenges. The Bucharest Summit further advanced NATO’s transformation in each of these areas."
Daniel Fried is the Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs, U.S. Department of State
