Anders Fogh Rasmussen regretted than in Afghanistan there are still a large number of organisations working each one for itself. "We don’t really plan together. We aren’t joined up in the field. ... And many NGOs still resist closer contacts with the military, out of concern that this could compromise their impartiality.” He continued, "Ending this fragmentation will require a real ‘cultural revolution’ – breaking with conventional thinking”.
 

Security must be guaranteed

 
The Federal Defence Minister also warned of overly ambitious disarmament steps. Although he shares the goal of ridding the world of all nuclear weapons, as announced by President Barack Obama, disarmament must never be allowed to result in a loss of security, said the Minister.
