NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is interested in the attitude of Ukrainian politicians and the public to the issue of the country's possible membership of the North Atlantic Alliance, Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said.

"Mr. Stoltenberg showed an interest in sentiments in Ukraine's political spectrum, and he will pay particular attention to this issue, in particular, after the [parliamentary] elections, when he plans to visit Ukraine," he said after a meeting with Stoltenberg in Brussels on Wednesday.

Klimkin also said that Ukraine and NATO plan to further strengthen cooperation in the near future, including in the alliance's military and technical aid to Ukraine, in the use of trust funds to help the country implement defense reform, as well as part of a program of enhanced opportunities .
