FLASHBACK-  ''06 Jun. 2007'' Keynote address by NATO Assistant Secretary General for Public Diplomacy H.E. Mr. Jean Fournet at the joint public diplomacy conference 'Media in a Changing World: Perspectives from GCC (GULF CRIMINAL CABAL) and NATO' http://www.nato.int/cps/en/SID-1CB92355-0CC54541/natolive/opinions_8330.htm  
I am delighted to be in Bahrain in the context of our joint public diplomacy conference on: “Media in a Changing World: Perspectives from GCC and NATO”, for the first ever visit of a NATO Assistant Secretary General to your country. This event takes place in the context of the NATO Public Diplomacy activities to explain the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative, launched in June 2004 by NATO’s Heads of State and Government in the Turkish city.I would like also to extend  my thanks to Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al Khalifa and his team from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for their help and continuous support. Bahrain joined the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative in February 2005. Therefore my presence here today in Manama is not only a symbol of the new NATO that has taken shape in recent years, but also as a symbol of a new global order: one not only allowing but also encouraging countries from very different regions to come together and to cooperate, in order to protect common security interests against common threats and challenges.Although NATO has been in existence for 58 years, and although many NATO Allies have cooperative ties with many Gulf countries, the Alliance for much of its history focused on Europe. one not only allowing but also encouraging countries from very different regions to come together and to cooperate, in order to protect common security interests against common threats and challenges.When we launched this Initiative, we already had ten years of experience with the region through our Mediterranean Dialogue which established a new relationship between NATO, the countries of North Africa and the Middle East. So today the Mediterranean Dialogue has led countries like Algeria and Israel to cooperate with our Active Endeavour mission in the Mediterranean:  the North Atlantic Council – NATO’s most senior political body - has visited Morocco, and we now hold regular meetings at the level of Ministers in this framework.
