We came to this summit committed to
chart a course for the NATO alliance for the 21st century, one
that embraces new members, new partners and new missions.
Here
we committed NATO first to fulfill its mission of collective defense
with the ability to meet new security threats. Second, to remain open to new
allies, and to seek stronger partnerships with nations all across Europe,
Central Asia, and obviously including Ukraine and Russia.
We've also
reaffirmed our determination repeatedly to intensify our actions, military
and economic, until we achieve our objectives in Kosovo. On this, the alliance
leaves Washington more united even than it was when we came here.
Meanwhile
we will stand by the neighboring countries that have accepted risks
and hardship in support of this effort. If Mr. Milosevic threatens them for
helping us, we will respond.
And we will work to support democracy
and development in the region so that the forces pulling people together will
be stronger than those pulling them apart, and all nations, including
someday a democratic Serbia, can join the European mainstream.
