Baku-APA. A Russia-NATO Council meeting is highly unlikely to be convened soon, Russia’s Permanent Representative at NATO Alexander Grushko said, APA reports quoting TASS.
"I don’t think any concrete steps on the part of NATO will follow soon," he told the Rossiya-24 television channel when asked about prospects for the resumption of dialogue within the Russia-NATO Council.
While speaking about the Russia-NATO Council, NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg "was stressing that the Russia-NATO Council was not closed, that it was still existing, that NATO’s decisions on curtailing contacts and dialogue with Russia did not affect the Council as a mechanism," Grushko said, adding that many in the alliance were in favor of resuming the Council’s work "to ease the tension that emerged in relations with Russia as a result of NATO’s actions."
On December 2, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said the alliance had taken a decision to resume the work of the Russian-NATO Council. Commenting on this statement, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow had never denied work in this format.
