Russia believes the Russia-NATO summit in Lisbon will completely put an end to the post-Cold War period and set guidelines toward a strategic partnership, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday.
"I hope that as we agreed with [NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh] Rasmussen that we will put an end to the post-Cold War period," Lavrov told journalists in South Korea.
Lavrov said that it would not be simple to draw out the guidelines but the tasks would be formulated toward a strategic partnership.
"During that period (post-Cold War) there was much said about the past, there were elements of distrust and elements of dodging pledges made in the 1990s, especially in regard to the indivisibility of security."
