§ The Prime MinisterI visited Brussels on 25th and 26th June with my right hon. Friend the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary. The main purpose of my visit was to attend a meeting of the North Atlantic Council and to sign on behalf of Her Majesty's Government the declaration reaffirming the aims and ideals of the North Atlantic Treaty which was adopted at the meeting of Foreign Ministers of the North Atlantic Alliance in Ottawa last week. My visit also provided a welcome opportunity for bilateral talks with a number of allied leaders.
