Lord Garden

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What are their priorities for the NATO summit in Riga; and whether the NATO comprehensive guidance document will be published ahead of the summit.[HL7279]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office
(Lord Triesman)

UK priorities for the Riga Summit will be NATO's transformation agenda and NATO operations. The aim of the former is to ensure that NATO has the necessary capabilities, structures and relationships with third countries to meet today's global security challenges. The comprehensive political guidance document is unlikely to be published ahead of the summit.
