BERLIN (Sputnik) — She added that it was precisely German Foreign minister who urged the continuation of the Russia-NATO Council and "the continuation of the dialogue between the military."
"Ministry of Foreign Affairs and personally [Foreign Minister Frank-Walter] Steinmeier stand in NATO, unlike many others, for that the underlying NATO philosophy on containment, defense capability, on the one hand, and the dialogue with Russia, on the other hand, would have never been abandoned. On the contrary, we understand that the overall security is only possible with Russia," said Chebli at a briefing.
Moscow and Berlin have been continuing active bilateral cooperation in the political and business areas, despite the cooling in the relations between Russia and western countries over the Ukrainian crisis.
