Relations with NATO and the European Union will be critical in overcoming the challenges, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on the last day of his three-day visit to Brussels.

According to him, he has come there for one very specific purpose, which is to clarify the determination of the United States to revitalize our alliances and partnerships.

The US is convinced that this strong relationship, between the countries, as well as with the EU and NATO, will help overcome the challenges, Blinken said, calling the COVID-19 pandemic devastating.
