"The conversation touched upon the security of Europe, the activity of the European Union countries in the context of the adopted documents. We also spoke about the upcoming NATO Summit in Madrid, cooperation in the EU format and cooperation within NATO. We received with great enthusiasm the decision of Sweden and Finland to apply to join the Alliance.
