On Wednesday (17 June 2026), NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte set out the priorities for Thursday’s meeting of NATO Defence Ministers in Brussels. “Allies will demonstrate progress on building a stronger Europe in a stronger NATO. We need more forces, more resources and a much stronger industrial base. That means making steady increases to defence investment and more fairly sharing responsibility for our collective security,” said Mr. Rutte.
