Transatlantic partnership continues to be the cornerstone of our collective security. Today we will reaffirm the Alliance’s role with regards to current threats and security challenges, but also define the guidelines over the management of hybrid threats, said Foreign Minister Bujar Osmani ahead of the NATO Summit in Brussels on Monday.
FM Osmani said foundations would be laid for enhanced cooperation among allies in strengthening the resilience, maintaining the advantage in technological development and closer cooperation with partners, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press release.
He referred to the NATO 2030 initiative, which aim is to prepare the Alliance for the next decade.
“Today is an important day not only for us but for the whole Alliance. This summit will streamline the NATO 2030 initiative. The ambitious transatlantic agenda is on the table today, which is set to ensure a bigger role of the alliance in creating long-term security, but also increased synergy among members when it comes to common security,” noted Osmani.
He also highlighted North Macedonia’s commitment as an EU candidate and the need for increased strategic cooperation between NATO and the Union.
“The Western Balkans’ EU integration is a geostrategic investment for the entire continent. Our contribution in this partnership is clear – and we will reaffirm our commitment at this summit – we are NATO,” concluded FM Osmani.
