NATO Enlargement Dialogue

Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage today received Albanian Ambassador Tarifa, Croatian Ambassador Grdesic, and Macedonian Ambassador Dimitrov to discuss the NATO summit later this month in Prague.  The Deputy Secretary reaffirmed U.S. support for a robust round of enlargement at Prague and for NATO's door to remain open to those countries not invited at Prague.  He welcomed the progress each country has made in carrying out its Membership Action Plan and urged that they continue their efforts.  The Deputy Secretary reiterated U.S. support for their aspirations to join NATO.  He also welcomed their commitment to cooperate and support each others' candidacies, while reaffirming that each country will be evaluated on its own merits.
