MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 12th October, 2018) The NATO-Russia Council's meeting may be held if Moscow and the alliance manage to agree on the meeting's agenda, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said on Friday.
"If we manage to agree on the agenda that will be in line with these interests [settlement of problems in the Russian-NATO relations], then the council [meeting] may be held," Grushko said.
The NATO-Russia Council was established at the Russia-NATO Summit in Rome on May 28, 2002 by the Declaration on NATO-Russia Relations: a New Quality.
The Council's meetings were suspended by the alliance in April 2014 over the situation in Ukraine but the format was revived in 2016. The latest NATO-Russia Council was held in late May in the NATO headquarters in Brussels.
