Brussels (ANTARA News/AFP) - NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen will hold talks with US President Barack Obama in Washington on Monday, one week after the alliance ended its mission in Libya.

Rasmussen will also meet US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Defence Secretary Leon Panetta, National Security Advisor Tom Donilon and members of the US Senate, his press office said in a statement Sunday.

The visit comes six months before the United States hosts a NATO summit in Chicago in May 2012.

NATO successfully ended its air campaign in Libya on October 31, declaring it had fulfilled its UN mandate to protect civilians in an operation that helped to oust veteran dictator Moamer Kadhafi. (*)
