Lord Carrington, Britain's
Foreign Secretary between 1979 and 1982, took up his post at the head of the 16-nation North
Atlantic Treaty Organisation almost two years ago. He has said that 'as a defensive alliance NATO has been a self-evident success... but must pool ideas as well as weapons and forge them into sound, sensible and consistent policies'. With summit talks in prospect, and disagreement over America's Strategic Defence Initiative,
Lord Carringon sees NATO as having not merely a military but also a political role in East-West relations.
Today, in an international phone-in chaired by Sue MacGregor, he answers questions from around the world.
