NATO will expand cooperation with the Central Asian countries, primarily in combat against the drug, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said at a news conference in Lisbon, Rosbalt reported with reference to Euronews.

"We attach a great importance to partnership with the Central Asian countries, primarily to counter the drug threat in Afghanistan," he said.
