Bucharest : The NATO-Ukraine Commission (NUC) said Friday that the alliance’s foreign ministers had been tasked to review, in their December meeting, the progress made by the Ukraine in fulfilling criteria for NATO membership.
In a statement at the conclusion of the NUC meeting, held here on the sidelines of the three-day NATO Summit, it said a stage of cooperation with the Ukraine would begin at a high level to resolve pending issues.
It added that the two sides agreed to boost political dialogue and cooperation in order push for the Ukraine’s transformation to democracy, as well as implementing reform and fulfilling international obligations.
The three-day NATO Summit, which concluded its meetings here earlier today, had refused to grant the Ukraine and Georgia membership despite US support for this. France and Germany were in opposition.
