Romania meeting: former NATO, CIA chiefs to discuss security

BUCHAREST, Romania - A former director of the CIA and former supreme commander of NATO will join other former high-ranking officials in the Romanian capital to discuss a wide range of issues from migration to terrorism.

The May 4-5 meeting organized by Romanian think-tank Strategikon will also focus on populism and Britain's decision to leave the European Union.

A statement sent to The Associated Press Thursday said there will be discussions on the need for officials to co-operate with the private sector and academics.

Former CIA director David Petraeus and retired U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip M. Breedlove, who oversaw sweeping changes at NATO to deal with a resurgent Russia and the threat of armed Islamic extremism in the Middle East and Africa, will also attend. Breedlove left the post in 2016.
