27/09/2013 (Agence Europe) - United Kingdom to host next NATO summit; Coming after Portugal in 2010 and the United States in 2012, it will be the turn of the United Kingdom to host an Atlantic Alliance summit in 2014. No announcement has been made as to where the summit will be held or the exact date. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, speaking on Friday 27 September, welcomed the offer from the UK government, noting that “this will be a significant event in NATO's history” since it “will be an opportunity to mark the conclusion of our ISAF mission at the end of next year, while opening a new chapter in NATO's engagement with Afghanistan”.
