Good news from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 Spoke with PM Luc Frieden about his plan to rapidly increase investment in defence to 2% of GDP. Such an important move as we gear up for the #NATOsummit in The Hague! We all need to invest more in our shared security.

Excellent to meet with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Ankara today as we prepare the #NATOSummit next month to keep the Alliance strong. Türkiye 🇹🇷 is a staunch and capable Ally. We also discussed Ukraine, where there is a real window of opportunity for progress towards peace.

A pleasure to welcome 🇨🇿 Petr Pavel to #NATO HQ to discuss the upcoming #NATOsummit, strengthening deterrence & defence and the importance of increased defence spending & production. I welcome the commitment you’ve already made to invest 3% of GDP in defence in coming years

#Czechia is a strong Ally, making crucial contributions to #NATO’s deterrence & defence. 🇨🇿 is also a staunch supporter of Ukraine. Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in 2022, Czechia has provided over 1.3bn euros in military aid to Ukraine. This makes a real

#Norway is one of #NATO’s founding members, making important contributions to our shared security. I commend that 🇳🇴 is stepping up and accelerating defence spending. Together, we need to ensure our militaries have what they need to keep our 1 bn people safe.

Pleased to speak at the #NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Dayton 🇺🇸 today. At the #NATOsummit in The Hague next month, leaders will take decisions to make NATO a stronger, fairer & more lethal Alliance. We must take action now & build up our defences. To delay is dangerous.
