NATO leaders to make decisions on long-term security at upcoming summit

NATO leaders are ready to make decisions to ensure long-term security, the head of the military alliance said Friday.   

Leaders will gather Monday in Brussels for the first time since 2018 and the summit will open a new chapter in the alliance history by agreeing on “an ambitious and forward-looking NATO 2030 agenda,” Jens Stoltenberg told reporters.

He said it is a pivotal moment for the alliance to adapt to challenges, such as “Russia and China pushing back against the rule-based international order, the continued threat of terrorism, sophisticated cyberattacks, disruptive technologies and climate change.”

Stoltenberg said the group’s strategic concept needed to be reviewed since the world has changed since its adoption in 2010.
