WASHINGTON: Sen. John McCain suggested Friday that the trans-Atlantic alliance join with democracies around the world to forge "a new global order of peace" that would last throughout the 21st century.
The Republican candidate for the U.S. presidency said the process should begin at the alliance's April summit meeting in Bucharest, Romania. Stepping up the NATO commitment to Afghanistan is one priority, he said, but that must lead to greater change around the world.
McCain expressed his views in a statement distributed by his campaign on the occasion of the 44th annual Munich Conference on Security Policy in Germany. He traditionally has spoken at the conference but stayed home this year to campaign.
He said NATO is building in Afghanistan "a global alliance of democracies that can act as a force for freedom and greater prosperity across the globe for decades to come."
