"We have shown NATO's unity", NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Saturday, concluding the two-day Warsaw NATO Summit.
"This is a historical Summit because it happens in a period decisive for our security," Stoltenberg said, underlining the fact that NATO has to adjust to the changing world and appearing challenges.
In his opinion, the Summit was important because it reflected what NATO was doing in the field of collective defense and stability.
Referring to the increase of EU and NATO cooperation, he said it was crucial for Europe and North America citizens.
Stoltenberg thanked Polish President Andrzej Duda for hosting the event.
"NATO Summit has shown unity, cohesion and solidarity of the Alliance," said Duda, who called the Summit a "success" of both NATO and Poland.
For Poland, it means an actual presence of NATO ready to "protect our territory anytime, in case of any threat," the president underlined.
On Friday, NATO countries' leaders decided on strengthening the eastern flank by deploying four battalions in Poland and Baltic states. Initial operational readiness of anti-missile shield was announced, while cyberspace was acknowledged new operational domain.
On Saturday, NATO announced support for Ukraine. Decisions on supporting anti-Islamic State coalition with airplanes and launching new mission on Mediterranean Sea were taken as well.
