I thanked 🇳🇱 for their contribution to our collective defense in the Baltic region. #StrongerTogether

No. 3 in the World.

Marking #NATO75 with former SecGen Jaap de Hoop Scheffer Atlantische Commissie Alliance is more relevant than ever. #StrongerTogether

For a strong #NATO , we need to be clear-eyed on Russia, boost deterrence and defence spending, back Ukraine's membership, and geographic balance.

I have discussed this in depth with Mark Rutte and he commits to these priorities. Estonia can back him for NATO's Secretary General.
