Shocking scenes in Washington, D.C. The outcome of this democratic election must be respected.
Excellent start to #NATOmeeting in London with President . We are adapting NATO to new challenges & are making unprecedented progress on defence spending.
#NATO solidarity in action: Turkey 🇹🇷 sending a cargo plane with medical supplies to Italy 🇮🇹 & Spain 🇪🇸 today to support our joint fight against #COVID19. Proud to see NATO Allies supporting each other through our disaster relief center. #StrongerTogether
I congratulate on his election as the next U.S. President & as Vice President. I know Joe Biden as a strong supporter of our Alliance & look forward to working closely with him. A strong #NATO is good for both North America & Europe
Honoured by #NATO Allies' decision to extend my term as Secretary General until 1 October 2024. The transatlantic bond between Europe & North America has ensured our freedom & security for nearly 75 years, and in a more dangerous world, our Alliance is more important than ever.
An honour to welcome President to our #NATOSummit for the inaugural meeting of the NATO–Ukraine Council. Our 3-part support package means #Ukraine is closer to #NATO membership than ever before. Today we meet as equals; I look forward to the day we meet as Allies.
Thanks to Vilnius for hosting our historic #NATOSummit. We agreed to strengthen #NATO’s deterrence & defence, invest more in defence, bring #Ukraine closer to NATO membership, and deepen our partnerships around the world even more. We are more united than ever.
#NATO stands in solidarity with our valued Ally #Montenegro, as it takes measures to protect its sovereignty and democracy faced with #Russia’s spying and other destabilizing malign activities. The Western Balkans are of strategic importance for our Alliance & we remain vigilant.
Great to meet again ahead of the #NATOSummit and thank him for his strong leadership. The United States plays an indispensable role in European security, including with steadfast support to #Ukraine. President Biden is keeping #NATO strong and united.
Honoured by the decision of #NATO Heads of State and Government to extend my term as Secretary General until 30 September 2023. As we face the biggest security crisis in a generation, we stand united to keep our Alliance strong and our people safe.
2022 was a year like no other. My deepest thanks go to #NATO troops and veterans for their service, and for keeping our 30 nations safe. Wishing you all happy holidays and best wishes for the new year.
I strongly condemn #Russia’s reckless attack on #Ukraine, which puts at risk countless civilian lives. This is a grave breach of international law & a serious threat to Euro-Atlantic security. #NATO Allies will meet to address Russia’s renewed aggression. bit.ly/36qTBd2
Spoke with President on #Russia's war of aggression. At our #NATOSummit we will step up support for our close partner #Ukraine, now & for the longer term. #NATO Allies stand with you.
Deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Over more than 70 years, she exemplified selfless leadership and public service. My deepest condolences to the Royal Family, to our #NATO Allies the United Kingdom and Canada, and to the people of the Commonwealth.
Good call with President on #Russia’s withdrawal from the Black Sea grain deal. We strongly condemn Moscow’s attempt to weaponise food. Allies stand with #Ukraine for as long as it takes & following #NATOSummit, Ukraine is closer to #NATO than ever before.
Deeply honoured to mark #NATO’s 70th anniversary at Buckingham Palace with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and all 29 Allies. Our Alliance is strong and looking to the future.
We just concluded an historic #NATOSummit, making our transatlantic Alliance bigger, stronger & safer. Leaders agreed to invite #Finland & #Sweden to join #NATO; a fundamental shift in our deterrence & defence; a new Strategic Concept; & more support for #Ukraine.
Good meetings with #NATO's close partners #Australia, #Japan, #NewZealand & #SouthKorea. Security is not regional, it is global — so we are determined to continue deepening our cooperation.
Spoke with US Secretary of Defence @LloydAustin & congratulated him on his confirmation. Great discussion about the values we share & the challenges we face. I look forward to working closely with him to strenghten the bond between Europe & North America through #NATO.
Great to meet PM of our newest Ally #Finland to prepare #NATOSummit in Vilnius. We plan to step up for #Ukraine with a multi-year support package, and strengthen our defences. We also look forward to welcoming #Sweden as a full #NATO Ally as soon as possible.
#NATO leaders have just agreed our new Strategic Concept, the blueprint for our Alliance in a more competitive world. #NATOSummit #Madrid bit.ly/3NwlDnt
The sabotage of the Nordstream pipelines is of deep concern. #NATO is committed to deter and defend against hybrid attacks. Any deliberate attack against Allies’ critical infrastructure would be met with a united and determined response.
Closely monitoring forcible landing in #Belarus of flight to Vilnius & reported detention of opposition figure Roman Protasevich. This is a serious & dangerous incident which requires international investigation. Belarus must ensure safe return of crew & all passengers.
Very good conversation with President on the latest developments in #Ukraine, and our preparations for the #NATOSummit. In Vilnius, Allies will take decisions to step up support for the long haul, upgrade our political ties, and bring Ukraine closer to #NATO.
Spoke with President of #Lithuania about the consequences of #Russia’s reckless invasion of #Ukraine. #NATO has already enhanced our defensive presence in the Baltic region & stands ready to do more. We will defend every Ally and every inch of Allied territory.
An honour to attend the #Coronation, a symbol of the enduring strength of the #UnitedKingdom, our staunch #NATO Ally. My congratulations to King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
A rainbow over #NATO, as the flags of all 30 Allies are at half-mast in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a strong supporter of our transatlantic Alliance, our armed forces &
our values.
I will always remember her wisdom and her warmth.
