A respective clause is contained in the NATO Secretary General's Annual Report for 2018, in the section devoted to NATO enlargement, according to an Ukrinform correspondent. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg presented the report at NATO headquarters in Brussels on Thursday . "At the Brussels Summit, NATO leaders reconfirmed the 2008 Bucharest Summit decision that Georgia will become a member of the Alliance. In light of Ukraine's restated aspirations for NATO membership, Allies also stand by their decisions taken at the Bucharest Summit and subsequent Summits," the report reads. At the same time, while commenting on the prospect of Ukraine getting a Membership Action Plan, Stoltenberg said at a press conference that Ukraine and NATO already have all the tools that are necessary for effective partnership. "When it comes to Ukraine, I think we have already in place many different tools. We have the Annual National Program, the NATO-Ukraine Commission, different partnerships, activities.
