During the first part, held in Moscow, the General Staff Military Academy (GSMA) of the Russian Federation hosted NATO officials and experts who discussed the Alliance\u2019s perspective on a number of highly relevant topics: Smart Defence, NATO in Afghanistan and missile defence. At the NDC, the exchange continued with a series of high-level lectures by GSMA leaders on current Russian priorities which are also of great interest to NATO: the Russian definition of the concept of strategic stability; military and strategic appraisal of recent Russian armed forces military exercises; the structure and operational capabilities of aerospace defence; and the reform process of the Russian armed forces.<\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">GSMA Commandant LtGen Andrei Vytalievich Tretiak (RUS-A) gave an extremely valuable presentation on the last of these topics, during the final day of the Conference. In a briefing entitled \u201cRestructuring the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation\u201d, LtGen Tretiak illustrated the steps that are being taken by the Russian government in order to ensure that the country\u2019s armed forces are fully attuned to the needs and challenges of modern warfare. The ensuing Q&#038;A was greatly appreciated by all participants, as an excellent opportunity for detailed and frank discussion: it provided a focus on the challenges that lie ahead in the achievement of the planned goals, as well as on the priority which the Russian Federation gives to the education of a new generation of senior officers \u2013 and future leaders. <\/p>\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper\">In their closing remarks, both GSMA Commandant Tretyak and NDC Commandant Arne B&aring;rd Dalhaug (NOR-A) highlighted the importance of high-level initiatives like this Conference as a means of enhancing mutual understanding and cooperation.<\/p>\n<p><em>NDC Public Affairs Office<br \/>\n(Prepared by Ms Eleonora Fuser, ITA C)<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Participants in the Military Conference on NATO-Russia Council Cooperation Issues group photo with NDC Commandant LtGen Dalhaug (first<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"post_badge":[],"class_list":["post-11410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"NDC","author_link":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/author\/admin_3rwqf6tj\/"},"modified_by":null,"author_meta":{"display_name":"NDC","author_link":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/author\/admin_3rwqf6tj\/"},"featured_img":null,"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","trp-custom-language-flag":"","morenews-featured":"","morenews-large":"","morenews-medium":""},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/category\/news\/\" rel=\"category tag\">News<\/a>","tag_info":"News","comment_count":0,"coauthors":[],"tax_additional":{"categories":{"linked":["<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/category\/news\/\" class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">News<\/a>"],"unlinked":["<span class=\"advgb-post-tax-term\">News<\/span>"]}},"relative_dates":{"created":"Publi\u00e9 14 ans il y a","modified":"Mis \u00e0 jour 6 mois il y a"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Publi\u00e9 le novembre 29, 2012","modified":"Mise \u00e0 jour le janvier 15, 2026"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Publi\u00e9 le novembre 29, 2012 10:27","modified":"Mise \u00e0 jour le janvier 15, 2026 09:01"},"featured_img_caption":"","series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11410\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11410"},{"taxonomy":"post_badge","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ndc.nato.int\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/post_badge?post=11410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
