BERLIN (Sputnik) – German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Tuesday he was in favor of renewing the Russian-NATO Council if even at the level of ambassadors.
“We could renew the Russia-NATO Council if even at the level of ambassadors,” Steinmeier said during a press conference of the Foreign Press Union.
NATO-Russia Council's work was suspended on April 1, 2014, after the alliance's foreign ministers issued a statement condemning Crimea's reunification with Russia.
Last month, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg announced that the alliance had decided to keep channels for political contact open. Stoltenberg also spoke about raising the subject of reconvening the NATO-Russia Council to be used as a tool for political dialogue.
