SUBJECT: APRIL 3-4 NATO SUMMIT COMMUNIQUE PART 2 OF 2 
 
REF: USNATO 136 
 
1. (U) The following communique was approved and released by 
NATO Heads of State and Government following the Summit of 
April 3-4: 
 
BEGIN PART 2 of Text: 
 
38. The security and stability of the Gulf region is 
significant to the Alliance. We are pleased with the 
significant progress achieved in the framework of the 
Istanbul Cooperation Initiative (ICI) since its establishment 
in 2004. Political consultations and practical cooperation 
have intensified, and new opportunities have been created in 
key areas such as energy security, maritime security and 
training and education, We encourage our ICI partners to 
develop ICPs. We value highly the support provided by our ICI 
partners to NATO's operations and missions. 
 
39. Within the context of our Mediterranean Dialogue and 
Istanbul Cooperation Initiative, we welcome the substantial 
progress made in implementing the first phase of the NATO 
Training Cooperation Initiative, including the establishment 
of a dedicated faculty at the NATO Defense College and the 
inauguration of the faculty's NATO Regional Cooperation 
Course. 
 
40. Since Bucharest, NATO's relationships with other partners 
across the globe have continued to expand and deepen, 
reflecting their increasing importance to the Alliance's 
goals in operations, security cooperation, and efforts, 
through political dialogue, to build common understanding of 
emerging issues that affect Euro-Atlantic security, notably 
Afghanistan. These relationships, which take many forms, 
offer a flexible means for countries to pursue dialogue and 
cooperation with NATO, and we reaffirm our intent to enhance 
them, on a case-by-case basis. We welcome the significant 
contributions made by many partners to NATO-led operations, 
and in particular those by Australia, Japan, New Zealand and 
the Republic of Korea to our mission in Afghanistan. 
 
41. The Black Sea region continues to be important for 
Euro-Atlantic security. We welcome the progress in 
consolidation of regional cooperation and ownership, through 
effective use of existing initiatives and mechanisms, and 
based on transparency, complementarity and inclusiveness. We 
will continue to support, as appropriate, efforts based on 
regional priorities and dialogue among the Black Sea states 
and with the Alliance. 
 
42. We have already achieved much in transforming our forces, 
capabilities and structures. The continuation of this process 
is crucial as it underpins the Alliance's ability to conduct 
the full range of its missions, including collective defence 
and crisis response operations on and beyond Alliance 
territory. Against this background we must continue to work 
individually and collectively to improve, both in quality and 
quantity, the capabilities needed to meet the priorities we 
set in the Comprehensive Political Guidance. 
 
43. We will continue to adapt NATO's forces, structures and 
procedures to meet the changing security challenges we face. 
We welcome the progress that has been made to make NATO's 
command structure more effective and efficient and look 
forward to further efforts in this regard. NATO's defence 
 
USNATO 00000137  002 OF 006 
 
 
planning process must enable Allies to deliver the 
capabilities needed to deal with current and future 
challenges within a comprehensive approach. We therefore also 
welcome agreement on a new, defence planning process which 
puts the emphasis squarely on delivery of capabilities we 
need. 
 
44. We are determined to provide the forces required for the 
full range of Alliance missions. We continue to support 
efforts to make our forces more deployable, sustainable, 
interoperable and, thus, more usable. By design, the NATO 
Response Force (NRF) has an important role in providing a 
rapidly deployable, credible force for the Alliance and in 
driving transformation and capability development. It needs 
to be able to respond to new and unpredicted crises for 
either collective defence or crisis operations beyond 
Alliance borders. We expect our Defence Ministers, at their 
meeting in June, to agree on measures to achieve these aims 
by improving NRF resourcing and employability. 
 
45. The Alliance will further develop the capabilities and 
policies required to conduct the full range of our missions, 
to remedy specific shortages, and to deal with emerging 
challenges and threats, at the same time facilitating an 
equitable sharing of burdens, risks and costs. We will 
vigorously pursue our work developing and fielding key 
enablers, such as mission-capable helicopters, strategic lift 
and the Alliance Ground Surveillance system. We support the 
greater use of multinational solutions for additional 
capability development including increased collective 
responsibility for logistics. We will also continue to pursue 
many of these initiatives in the existing framework of 
NATO-EU cooperation in capability development. We encourage 
our Defence Ministers to agree on an Action Plan to improve 
the interoperability of our armed forces at their meeting in 
June 2009. 
 
46. In view of the imminent achievement of full operational 
capability of the NATO Special Operations Coordination Centre 
(NSCC) initiated at our 2006 Riga Summit, we invite the 
Council in Permanent Session to exploit this success further, 
including by examining the benefits of a new multinational 
Headquarters. 
 
47. We are committed to provide, individually and 
collectively, the financial resources necessary for our 
Alliance to perform the operational and transformational 
tasks we demand of it. We will strive to prioritise our 
defence spending and programming for improved efficiency in 
delivering the ability to conduct the full range of Alliance 
missions. This is particularly important in the current 
economic situation. 
 
48. We will continue to improve and demonstrate more clearly 
our ability to meet emerging challenges on and beyond 
Alliance territory, including on its periphery, inter alia by 
ensuring adequate planning, exercises and training. 
 
49. We remain committed to strengthening communication and 
information systems that are of critical importance to the 
Alliance against cyber attacks, as state and non-state actors 
may try to exploit the Alliance's and Allies' growing 
reliance on these systems. To prevent and respond to such 
attacks, in line with our agreed Policy on Cyber Defence, we 
have established a NATO Cyber Defence Management Authority, 
 
USNATO 00000137  003 OF 006 
 
 
improved the existing Computer Incident Response Capability, 
and activated the Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of 
Excellence in Estonia. We will accelerate our cyber defence 
capabilities in order to achieve full readiness. Cyber 
defence is being made an integral part of NATO exercises. We 
are further strengthening the linkages between NATO and 
Partner countries on protection against cyber attacks. In 
this vein, we have developed a framework for cooperation on 
cyber defence between NATO and Partner countries, and 
acknowledge the need to cooperate with international 
organisations, as appropriate. 
 
50. Ballistic missile proliferation poses an increasing 
threat to Allies' forces, territory, and populations. Missile 
defence forms part of a broader response to counter this 
threat. We therefore reaffirm the conclusions of the 
Bucharest Summit about missile defence. 
 
51. In response to our tasking at the Bucharest Summit to 
develop options for a comprehensive missile defence 
architecture to extend coverage to all European Allied 
territory and populations, several technical architecture 
options were developed and subsequently assessed from a 
politico-military perspective. We recognise that additional 
work is still required. In this context, a future United 
States' contribution of important architectural elements 
could enhance NATO elaboration of this Alliance effort. 
 
52. Based on the technical and political military analysis of 
these options, we judge that missile threats should be 
addressed in a prioritised manner that includes consideration 
of the level of imminence of the threat and the level of 
acceptable risk. We received a comprehensive analysis of the 
technical architecture options and agree to its overall 
assessment that, even though some of these options do not 
meet the Bucharest tasking, each of them has its strengths 
and shortcomings. 
 
53. Bearing in mind the principle of the indivisibility of 
Allied security as well as NATO solidarity, we task the 
Council in Permanent Session, taking into account the 
Bucharest Summit tasking, to present recommendations 
comprising architecture alternatives, drawing from the 
architectural elements already studied, for consideration at 
our next Summit. To inform any future political decision on 
missile defence, we also task the Council in Permanent 
Session to identify and undertake the policy, military and 
technical work related to a possible expanded role of the 
Active Layered Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence (ALTBMD) 
programme beyond the protection of NATO deployed forces to 
include territorial missile defence. 
 
54. We support increased missile defence cooperation between 
Russia and NATO, including maximum transparency and 
reciprocal confidence-building measures to allay any 
concerns. We reaffirm our readiness to explore the potential 
for linking United States, NATO and Russian missile defence 
systems at an appropriate time and we encourage the Russian 
Federation to take advantage of United States' missile 
defence cooperation proposals. 
 
55. In Bucharest we reaffirmed that arms control, disarmament 
and non-proliferation will continue to make an important 
contribution to peace, security, and stability. In response 
to our tasking to the Council in Permanent Session to keep 
 
USNATO 00000137  004 OF 006 
 
 
these issues under active review, we note its report on 
raising NATO's profile in this field. The report displays a 
broad range of activities being undertaken, including 
continuing efforts in preventing the spread of weapons of 
mass destruction, and destruction of excess small arms and 
light weapons and surplus munitions. The Allies continue to 
seek to enhance security and stability at the lowest possible 
level of forces consistent with the Alliance's ability to 
provide for collective defence and to fulfil the full range 
of its missions. NATO and Allies should continue contributing 
to international efforts in the area of arms control, 
disarmament and non-proliferation. We aim at achieving a 
higher level of public awareness of NATO's contribution in 
these fields. We task the Council in Permanent Session to 
continue to keep these issues under active review, as part of 
NATO's broad response to security challenges. 
 
56. NATO Allies reaffirm that the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
Treaty (NPT), with its three mutually reinforcing pillars, 
remains important and Allies will contribute constructively 
with a view to achieving a successful outcome of the 2010 NPT 
Review Conference. Alliance nations have dramatically reduced 
nuclear weapons and delivery systems, and remain committed to 
all objectives enshrined in the Treaty. We call for universal 
compliance with the NPT and universal adherence to the 
Additional Protocol to the International Atomic Energy Agency 
Safeguard Agreement and full compliance with UNSCR 1540. We 
will intensify our efforts to prevent state and non-state 
actors from accessing WMD and their means of delivery. In 
this regard, we endorse NATO's comprehensive strategic-level 
policy for preventing the proliferation of WMD and defending 
against Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear 
threats. We remain deeply concerned about the Iranian nuclear 
and ballistic missile programmes and related proliferation 
risks and call on Iran to comply with relevant UNSCRs. We are 
also deeply concerned by the programmes and proliferation 
activities of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and 
call on it to fully comply with relevant UNSCRs. 
 
57. We place the highest value on the CFE Treaty regime with 
all its elements. We underscore the strategic importance of 
the CFE Treaty, including its flank regime, as a cornerstone 
of Euro-Atlantic security. We reiterate our endorsement at 
the Bucharest Summit of the statement of the North Atlantic 
Council of 28 March 2008 and fully support the December 2008 
statement of our Foreign Ministers. We reaffirm the 
Alliance's commitment to the CFE Treaty regime, as expressed 
in the Alliance's position contained in paragraph 42 of the 
2006 Riga Summit Declaration, the final statement by Allies 
at the CFE Extraordinary Conference in Vienna, and Alliance 
statements reflecting subsequent developments. We are deeply 
concerned that, since 12 December 2007, Russia has continued 
its unilateral "suspension" of its legal obligations under 
the CFE Treaty. Furthermore, Russia's actions in Georgia have 
called into question its commitment to the fundamental OSCE 
principles on which stability and security in Europe are 
based: principles which underpin the CFE Treaty. These 
actions run counter to our common objective of preserving the 
long-term viability of the CFE regime and we call upon Russia 
to resume its implementation without further delay. Because 
of our commitment to cooperative security and fulfilment of 
international agreements as well as the importance we attach 
to the confidence that results from military transparency and 
predictability, we have continued fully to implement the 
Treaty despite Russia's "suspension." However, the current 
 
USNATO 00000137  005 OF 006 
 
 
situation, where NATO CFE Allies implement the Treaty while 
Russia does not, cannot last indefinitely. We offered a set 
of constructive and forward-looking proposals for parallel 
actions on key issues, including steps by NATO Allies on 
ratification of the Adapted CFE Treaty and by Russia on 
outstanding commitments related to Georgia and the Republic 
of Moldova. We continue to believe that these proposals 
address all of Russia's stated concerns. We continue to urge 
Russia to work cooperatively with us and other concerned CFE 
States Parties to reach agreement on the basis of the 
parallel actions package so that together we can preserve the 
benefits of this landmark regime. 
 
58. We remain concerned with the persistence of protracted 
regional conflicts in the South Caucasus and the Republic of 
Moldova. It is essential for all parties in these regions to 
engage constructively in peaceful conflict resolution. We 
call on them all to avoid steps that undermine regional 
security and stability, and to respect the current 
negotiation formats. We continue to support the territorial 
integrity, independence and sovereignty of Armenia, 
Azerbaijan, Georgia and the Republic of Moldova, and will 
also continue to support efforts towards a peaceful 
settlement of these regional conflicts, taking into account 
these principles. We welcome OSCE efforts and processes in 
these regions, to which the Caucasus Stability and 
Cooperation Platform could be a useful complement. 
 
59. The Alliance will continue to consult on the most 
immediate risks in the field of energy security. In Bucharest 
we agreed principles which govern NATO's approach in the 
field of energy security, and options and recommendations for 
further activities. The Alliance has continued to implement 
these recommendations. Today we have noted a "Report on 
Progress Achieved in the Area of Energy Security." The 
disruption of the flow of natural gas in January 2009 
seriously affected a number of Allies and Partner countries. 
The issues of a stable and reliable energy supply, 
diversification of routes, suppliers and energy sources, and 
the interconnectivity of energy networks, remain of critical 
importance. Today we have declared our continuing support for 
efforts aimed at promoting energy infrastructure security. In 
accordance with the Bucharest decisions, we will continue to 
ensure that NATO's endeavours add value and are fully 
coordinated and embedded within those of the international 
community, which features a number of organisations that are 
specialised in energy security. We task the Council in 
Permanent Session to prepare an interim report for the 
Foreign Ministers' meeting in December 2009 and a further 
report on the progress achieved in the area of energy 
security for our consideration at our next Summit. 
 
60. Developments in the High North have generated increased 
international attention. We welcome the initiative of Iceland 
in hosting a NATO seminar and raising the interest of Allies 
in safety and security-related developments in the High 
North, including climate change. 
 
61. We welcome the Secretary General's report on progress in 
reforming the NATO Headquarters, to achieve the fastest and 
most coherent flow of sound political, military and resource 
advice to support our consensual decision-making, and to 
enhance our responsiveness to time-sensitive operational 
needs. The proposed changes aim to improve the efficiency and 
effectiveness of our processes and structures, our ability to 
 
USNATO 00000137  006 OF 006 
 
 
integrate the different strands of NATO's work - duly 
safeguarding the role of the Military Committee - and the 
optimal use of resources. We endorse the Secretary General's 
plans for future action and, in line with the mandate we gave 
him in Bucharest, empower him to take forward this work. We 
task the Council in Permanent Session to take the necessary 
decisions to implement these reforms as quickly as possible. 
We will review a report on implementation at our next Summit. 
 
62. We express our gratitude to the Governments of France and 
Germany for their gracious hospitality at this first 
co-hosted NATO Summit. Today we have reaffirmed the 
indispensable link between North America and Europe, the 
enduring principle of the indivisibility of Allied security, 
and our common goal of a Europe that is whole and free. We 
have taken decisions on our missions and operations, the 
modernisation of our capabilities, and our engagement with 
other nations and organisations. We will meet next in 
Portugal to approve a new Strategic Concept and give further 
direction to ensure that NATO can successfully continue to 
defend peace, democracy and security in the Euro-Atlantic 
area and beyond.
