Nato Secretary General: We are Ready to Play Role in Libya if Needed.

Rome, 11 May 2105(Lana) Nato has said that the alliance was ready to play a role, in support of the mission in Libya which Nato is discussing with the EU and the UN, in a bid to curb the flow of immigrants across the Mediterranean. 'We support all efforts being made for a political solution, but there was no request for our participation, the Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in an interview with the Italian newspaper 'La Stampa' on Monday. There was no request for our participation, the Secretary said, indicating that the treaty with Libya programme only involved rebuilding Libya's capabilities once the security situation permitted. 'They were hard negotiations, which I do not think should be tackled in the press, we all know that our mission never was easy. it is to protect our allies if they face attack, we are upgrading our capabilities and starting from next year we will have drones for Nato. =Lana=
