New architecture for NATO
"This alliance is the most successful alliance in modern
history,” stated Barack Obama. It has a vision and takes a
long-term view. "And now we must use this vision to help us meet
the challenges of the 21st century,” said the
President.
He told his audience that he hadn’t come to Baden-Baden with
major plans, but that he was here to listed and share ideas, "so
that we can together hammer out our vision of what NATO should look
like in future,” he stated clearly.
Along with the other member states, the most should be made
of this opportunity to create a new architecture for NATO. The
leading role of Germany and the United States is fundamentally
important in this context. "In the course of time, we will be able
to make progress towards peace and prosperity,” assured Barack
Obama.
