Mr. Bettel said that NATO needs to dialogue with Russia to resolve disagreements in bilateral relations.

“This NATO summit is not aimed against anyone. Some journalists have the impression that this summit is aimed against Russia. This is simply a NATO summit to demonstrate that we are united and working together,” said the Luxembourg Prime Minister.

Referring to the meeting of the NATO-Russia Council, which will take place on July 13, Mr. Bettel stressed that this event highlights the need for dialogue. He warned: "If we do not negotiate, we will not find a solution."
