There are three forms of cooperation in NATO-Ukraine relations that will be combined, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has said.

He said this at a press conference in Odesa on October 30, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"We have a long-standing partnership with Ukraine, and we are constantly strengthening, adapting the partnership with Ukraine. And this spring, we decided to further step up our cooperation in different fields, including in the maritime domain. We already have the National Annual Program, we have the Comprehensive Assistance Package, and we have the NATO-Ukraine Commission, which are all important tools in our partnership with Ukraine. And now we are launching a new initiative, which is aimed at coordinating and bringing together all these different [formats] in a more coherent and even consistent way," Stoltenberg said.

He also recalled that NATO cooperates with Ukraine through joint exercises, information sharing, and by inviting young Ukrainian cadets to train on NATO ships.

"So we will continue to stand with you," Stoltenberg said.
