During the summit, Nato members will decide whether or not to agree on the installation of the US missile defence system in Europe.
Nato is willing to develop an effective system that covers all of the 28 member countries, according to Rasmussen.
Russia has opposed the plans to deploy a missile defence system in Europe as it fears it could cause a threat to its own national security.
