NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and NATO Allies have confirmed the invitation to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba to take part in the meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers to be held on November 30 in Riga.

This became known following talks between the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the NATO Secretary General at the Alliance's headquarters in Brussels.

Dmytro Kuleba thanked Jens Stoltenberg and NATO allies for the invitation and noted that the invitation of the heads of Ukrainian and Georgian diplomacy is an important message of support.

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister welcomed the Allies' efforts to approve NATO's Strategic Concept at the Alliance's Summit in Madrid next June.
