The "informal Defence Ministers meeting" took place in Noordwijk,the Netherlands, on Wednesday and Thursday last week. The planned agendahad issues of cyber warfare to be discussed on Thursday morning, alongwith missile defence, force transformation, and various other matters.In civilised style, the conflab was scheduled to wrap up in time forlunch and a nice long weekend.
The Chinese Xinhua news agency quoted Alliance spokesman James Appathurai on Thursday as saying that:
"There is a growing consensus within NATO that the alliance couldadd value [to cyber defence of its member states] and should defineexactly where it can add value."
NATO itself reportedthat the informal meetings had taken place, and that "Missile defence,cyber defence, elements of energy security were identified as issueswhere important work will be undertaken in preparation for the NATOsummit in Bucharest in April next year".
