Ukraine and NATO are planning to hold a joint conference on the problems of new challenges, and bilateral cooperation in this sphere next year, Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin told journalists at the end of the sitting of the Ukraine-NATO Committee in Brussels.
"Next year we, together with NATO, will hold a conference on new threats, starting with security of energy supplies and finishing with cyber security. This event will be of great importance to our presidency of the OSCE from 2013, as some of these threats will be a priority for our presidency," the deputy minister said.
He said that the conference would be devoted to the problems of new challenges, and cooperation with NATO in this sphere.
"The idea of the event is to discover in which spheres and directions there is extra potential for cooperation, and how to work with it," Klimkin said.
The time and place of the event have not been determined yet. The conference will be held in Ukraine in the second half of a year, "perhaps in September, but this is something we have to discuss," the deputy minister said.
