In the first program of the fall 2008 Chicago and the World Forum series, “Europe and the United States: Navigating the Future,” Polish foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski addressed the future of the world’s strongest military alliance. He outlines his perspective on what NATO needs to do to remain true to its mission and to confront new security challenges in the 21st century in advance of NATO’s 60th anniversary in 2009. In his remarks, Minister Sikorski also addresses the implications of border security, energy, and economics in light of Russia’s recent conflict with Georgia, and reflected on the serious effects a resurgent Russia will have on Poland, the Caucasus, Europe, and U.S.-Russia relations.
