NATO Welcomes Seven Countries


President George W. Bush
Remarks at North Atlantic Council Summit
Prague Congress Center, Prague, Czech Republic
November 21, 2002

10:03 A.M. (L)

America is very pleased by today's decision. We believe it strengthens our nation's most important alliance, NATO. By welcoming seven members, we will not only add to our military capabilities, we will refresh the spirit of this great democratic alliance.

We believe today's decision reaffirms our commitment to freedom and our commitment to a Europe which is whole and free and at peace.

Thank you.
