LISBON, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) -- The COVID-19 pandemic and the situation in Afghanistan top the agenda of the 67th annual session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which is hosted by the Parliament of Portugal between Oct. 8 and Oct. 11.

The event is attended by Portuguese government officials, NATO representatives, defense experts, legislators from the 30 NATO member states and representatives of the alliance's partner countries.

The participants are also scheduled to assess NATO's relations with Russia and China, and the situation in the Middle East and North Africa. They will discuss global action on climate change and the fight against "misinformation" about the pandemic.

Gerald Connolly, president of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, described Portugal as a "crucial partner" in the revision of the alliance's strategic concept.

Ruxandra Popa, secretary general of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, said that the session's resolutions "will be sent to the secretary general of NATO and to the governments of the member countries." Enditem
