WARSAW, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Strengthening NATO's eastern flank and terrorism counter measures were among the topics discussed by Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Witold Waszczykowski and his counterparts from Turkey, Mevlut Cavusoglu, and Romania, Lazar Comanescu, here on Thursday.
After the meeting, Waszczykowski underlined that the three countries shared common view regarding the need to strengthen NATO eastern flank, especially considering the fact that they constitute three biggest countries in the region.
According to Waszczykowski, the three countries are "connected by common problems and common proposals of their solutions."
"We assume that the eastern flank should be strengthened, and its security increased by locating NATO international forces, as well as American forces," Waszczykowski said.
The meeting was also dedicated to the upcoming NATO summit in Warsaw, which is to be held in July 2016.
All the three agreed on the need for closer cooperation between the EU and NATO as far as regional security is concerned.
Another crucial challenge raised was the terrorist threat. They declared cooperation in fighting against terrorism.
The Polish-Turkish-Romanian three-side formula consultations are to be continued in the following years. The next stage of talks is to be held in Bucharest in autumn 2016, summing up the NATO summit in Warsaw. Enditem
