The Secretary General furthermore attended the international conference “Missile Defence after the Bucharest NATO Summit: European and American Perspectives” where he delivered a keynote speech.

“The threat of a ballistic missile attack touches at the very heart of NATO’s collective defence commitment. It touches, in other words, at the very core of our Alliance. That is why we must respond to this challenge – and why we must respond together,” NATO Secretary General de Hoop Scheffer said.

The conference was organized as part of plans to build a U.S. missile defence capability in the Czech Republic. notas_de_prensa_archivo
