BRUSSELS: Nato is set to hold formal talks with Russia shortly after a summit in Warsaw this week where the alliance will endorse a military buildup following the Ukraine conflict, chief Jens Stoltenberg said on Monday.
In April the Nato-Russia Council held its first meeting since June 2014 when relations were effectively frozen, and the talks ended in "profound disagreements" over Ukraine and other issues.
"The Nato-Russia Council has an important role to play as a forum for dialogue" and could "increase predictability", Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels ahead of the two-day summit starting on Friday.
"That is why we are working with Russia to hold another meeting of the council shortly after the summit," he added.
In May Stoltenberg had said Nato member states were aiming to try for a meeting of the Nato-Russia Council before the summit.
