NATO Secretary-General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, said: “We will co-operate closely with our partners in the region and we welcome their contributions.” NATO is expected to start action in the next two to three days. There will be more cooperation from another Middle Eastern country, with the United Arab Emirates pledging contribute 12 planes to the coalition force. NATO’s involvement has been warmly welcomed by Washington, as US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton said: “NATO is well suited to coordinating this international effort and ensuring that all participating nations are working effectively together toward our shared goals. Gaddafi’s troops have been pushed back, but they remain a serious threat to the safety of the people.” Though NATO will not be taking full military command in Libya, the alliance may yet play a larger part. Turkey’s Foreign Minister says talks are already underway about broadening NATO’s role.
