NATO to mark 70th birthday

On April 4, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will turn 70.

NATO foreign ministers will hold their regular April meeting in Washington as they celebrate the 70th anniversary of the US-led military alliance on April 3-4.

NATO consists of 29 member states from North America and Europe. It was established at the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on April 4, 1949.

Earlier this week, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he hopes Georgia can soon be admitted into NATO during his visit to the Caucasus country.
