Proceeding contribution from Lord McConnell of Glenscorrodale (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on NATO Summit.


NATO Summit

My Lords, I welcome the reference in the Statement to failing states. Is there any further information that the Minister can provide on the discussions that took place with reference to the importance of failing states to NATO’s overall security position? Might action to help rebuild and reconstruct failing states be one of those areas where there could be more detailed co-operation in future between the European Union and NATO? Was that issue discussed at the summit, or might it be part of the discussions that will lead up to the Foreign Ministers’ meeting in April?
