Atlantic Alliance secretary general calls for more investment to ensure security and deterrence

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said the alliance’s member countries will have to significantly increase defense spending, exceeding the 3 percent of GDP threshold. The goal is to build a “stronger, fairer and more lethal” NATO, he said at a press conference in Brussels on the eve of the organization’s foreign ministers’ meeting.

According to Rutte, investment in the military will have to be “well above” this percentage to enable the alliance to strengthen its defensive and deterrent capabilities. “We see money coming in from the states, and that is crucial for our security,” he added.

Global threats: Russia, China, Iran and North Korea.
The secretary general stressed that NATO is operating in an increasingly dangerous international environment. “The threat from Russia remains,” Rutte warned, highlighting how Moscow continues to collaborate with China, Iran, and North Korea in ways that not only harm Ukraine but increase risks globally.

The alliance between these countries, according to the NATO leader, poses a challenge to international stability and calls for greater efforts by member states to strengthen their defenses.

The foreign ministers’ summit
Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, NATO foreign ministers will meet in Brussels to discuss future strategies and investments needed to ensure the Alliance’s security. The focus will be on new geopolitical challenges and resources for common defense.

As global threats evolve, Rutte’s message is clear: only a militarily stronger alliance can ensure the security of the future.
