NATO Defence ministers meeting – 3-4 June, Brussels
June 2, 2014
Pentagon chief Chuck Hagel will attend a June 3-4 meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels.
“He views this as a particularly important meeting, of course, as it is the first since Russia’s incursions into Ukraine and the last before September’s NATO Summit in Wales” said Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby.
The spokesman added that Hagel “believes our European allies must use this crisis as an opportunity to revitalize NATO and enhance their commitments to collective defense”.
Chuck Hagel will then travel to Romania and from there to France.
