POTSDAM (Sputnik) – On August 23, the German minister invited his counterparts for an informal meeting in Potsdam, Germany.
"I hope we shall discuss the issue of renewing the lost trust, in particular in what I suggested last week – to restart the debate, dialogue, negotiations, for example on arms control," Steinmeier told reporters.
Last week, in a commentary for German Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, Steinmeier wrote that a new European arms control deal would help avoid an arms race between Russia and NATO and would contribute to "transparency, risk prevention and confidence building."
