In the Portuguese capital, Heads of State adopted the Lisbon Declaration on a Common and Comprehensive Security Model for Europe for the Twenty-First Century, outlining security challenges and possibilities for co-operative approaches to meeting them.
In the Summit document, the OSCE welcomed Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belarus' removal of nuclear warheads from their territories. It also adopted a Framework for Arms Control, designed to create a web of interlocking and mutually reinforcing commitments in the area of arms control and confidence- and security-building measures.
