BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Germany will stick to its commitment to help fund NATO drones, despite cancelling a plan to buy its own unmanned reconnaissance planes, its defence minister signalled on Tuesday.

"We have signed an agreement and Germany usually sticks to its agreements," Thomas de Maiziere said as he went into a NATO defence ministers' meeting in Brussels.
