Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine for European and Euroatlantic Integration Ivana Klympush-Tsintsadze has said it is necessary to bring Ukraine-NATO partnership to a new level.
"We think that we must bring our partnership to a new strategic level. That means parliament must give a green light for all legislation aimed at introducing standards necessary for accession to NATO," she said during a special Rada session celebrating Ukraine-NATO partnership.
Klympush-Tsintsadze said Ukraine must strengthen and systematize cooperation with NATO in the sphere on national security, defense and other key areas.
Independent Ukraine's first and second presidents, Leonid Kravchuk and Leonid Kuchma, respectively, along with government leaders took part in the session, as well as foreign diplomats.
