Also the US has a need for showing a will to cultivate its relationship with its allies by purchasing European defence equipment, and by easing the restrictions on the transfer of technology to its allies, Krohn Devold said. Robertson said that he had delivered much the same message to Washington as that presented by the Norwegian minister at the meeting. � Norway is a small nation, but a great ally, said NATO Secretary General George Robertson, who also praised the Norwegian defence budget. He was speaking at a NATO conference in Brussels on Thursday. Lord Robertson also supported a request by Norway's Defence Minister, Kristin Krohn Devold, for a better balance between USA and NATO, Aftenposten reports.
