Stoltenberg welcomes German NATO proposal

Stoltenberg said he welcomes the message that NATO is the platform to unite North America and Europe and is vital to our security.

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas suggested establishing an expert committee to propose reforms for the alliance. The idea came after French President Emmanuel Macron's sharp criticism of NATO's health situation.

Stoltenberg stressed that the proposal is valuable and is eager to discuss it at the NATO foreign ministers' meeting. /AT S/
