I very much welcome the US Senate’s ratification of the New START Treaty between the United States and the Russian Federation, which will make a significant contribution to Euro-Atlantic security

pave the way for progress on conventional and nuclear arms control initiatives that would further enhance security in the Euro-Atlantic area and beyond At NATO’s recent Lisbon Summit, all Allied leaders expressed their unanimous support for ratification of the START Treaty

In Lisbon, NATO agreed to develop a territorial missile defense capability and launched a fundamentally new phase in NATO-Russia relations, including cooperation on missile defense NATO nations and Russia agreed that we do not represent a threat to one another, but instead strive towards a strategic partnership The New START Treaty will create opportunities for even greater cooperation in the future and enhance international security
