"We stand united in NATO"/ The Alliance Chief delivers a speech at the

NATO chief Mark Rutte delivered a speech at today's Summit in The Hague. In his address to the 32 leaders of the alliance's member states, Rutte emphasized the message of standing together and with a commitment to Article 5, in these difficult times for the entire world.

Rutte's full speech:                                                               

"We meet at a dangerous moment for one billion of our citizens.

Russia's war against Ukraine continues to rage. A determined group of adversaries seeks to divide and challenge us. There is war in the Middle East. Terrorism poses a constant threat. And new technologies bring opportunities, but also many serious security challenges.

In the face of this, we stand together, united in NATO. The most powerful defensive alliance in world history.

History has shown that North America and Europe working together is a winning combination. Our adversaries know this.

Our steadfast commitment to Article 5 - that an attack on one is an attack on all - sends a powerful message.

At this meeting, we will make historic and transformative decisions. To make our people safer through a stronger, fairer, and more lethal NATO.

To make NATO stronger, we have a concrete plan for all Allies to spend 5% of GDP on defense. It will go towards core defense, as well as defense and security-related investments.

This decision is deeply rooted in our core mission and is necessary to inform our plans and preparedness.

This will also make NATO fairer. To ensure that anyone and everyone contributes fairly to our security.

For a very long time, one ally, the United States, carried much of the burden of that commitment. And that changes today.

President Trump, dear Donald, you made this change possible. Your leadership on this front has already generated a trillion dollars in additional spending by European allies since 2016. And today's decisions will generate trillions more for our shared defense, to make us stronger and fairer by equalizing spending between America and America's allies.

Allies will also agree to further increase defense production, so that our armed forces have everything they need.

This means a major expansion of our defence industrial base, on both sides of the Atlantic. This is good for our security, it is good for our economies and it is good for our jobs.

"Our decisions include continuing our support for Ukraine, while also pushing for a just and lasting peace. We all want the bloodshed to stop. We call on Russia to stop its aggression against Ukraine," Rutte said./CNA
