Obama to meet NATO`s Rasmussen at White House
US President Barack Obama will meet with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen at the White House Friday to discuss the end of the war in Afghanistan and other global issues, the White House said, dpa reported.
The men will also discuss sustaining and improving allied defence capabilities, the balance of the alliance between the US and its European allies, and enhancing NATO`s network of partners, spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement Tuesday.

"The secretary general`s visit underscores the vital importance the United States places on the North Atlantic Alliance and our relationship with Europe, and our common commitment to tackle challenges from Afghanistan to the Balkans to the Indian Ocean together," he said.
