Excellent meeting with President @EmmanuelMacron in Paris to prepare the #NATOSummit in Washington. More support to Ukraine will be our most urgent task, as we also take steps to continue strengthening NATO’s deterrence and defence. As always, #France will play a key role.
It’s official – #Sweden is now the 32nd member of #NATO, taking its rightful place at our table. Sweden’s accession makes NATO stronger, Sweden safer, and the whole Alliance more secure. I look forward to raising their flag at NATO HQ on Monday.
I strongly condemn today’s terrorist attack on the Ministry of Interior in #Ankara, and wish a fast and full recovery for the police officers injured in the line of duty. #NATO stands in solidarity with #Türkiye in the fight against terrorism.
Farewell to an astounding military leader and a dear friend.
🇺🇸GEN Milley embodied the values and ideals of the nation in very challenging times.
He inspired millions around the world to fight for what we know to be right.
I wish him and his family nothing but the best.
Productive meeting w/ President @RTErdogan to prepare the #NATO Summit in Vilnius. We discussed Sweden’s NATO membership, and I welcome that #Türkiye, Sweden and Finland will meet again in the Permanent Joint Mechanism.
Impressive to see the ships and maritime patrol aircraft of #NATO Maritime Group 1 @COM_SNMG1 in action next to the Troll A natural gas platform.

#NATO Secretary General @jensstoltenberg on the gas pipeline leaks: “We also follow with great concern the reports from the Baltic Sea where we see the leakages from both Nord Stream 2 & Nord Stream 1, the two pipelines. This is something we monitor closely from @NATO.” (1/2)
Slutter meg til hvert eneste ord fra @jensstoltenberg her. Denne tiraden kommet til å få en vel fortjent plass i historiebøkene. Man kan si mye om NATO, EU, USA og resten av vesten, men dette er realiteten i dag. Her. Det må vi ta innover oss.Dette er ikke tiden for whataboutism.
We now have an agreement that paves the way for #Finland & #Sweden to join #NATO. I thank Presidents @RTErdogan & @Niinisto & @SwedishPM for the constructive spirit that made this historic decision possible.
Important conversation with #NATO’s Deputy Secretary General @Mircea_Geoana and FM @AHuitfeldt today.
Discussed Russia’s military build-up against Ukraine, as well as @NATO’s next Strategic Concept.
Agreed on the importance of keeping Allied unity towards the Summit in Madrid
Good and important discussion in Oslo with @nato DSG @Mircea_Geoana and 🇳🇴 Defence Minister @OddEnoksen on the current security situation in Europe and the road to the Madrid Summit. Thanks to the panelists and to @Atlantkomite for arranging. @NorwayNATO#WeAreNATO@Forsvarsdep
- Vi må ta innover oss det sikkerhetspolitiske alvoret i Europa og hvordan det angår oss. Den russiske styrkeoppbyggingen ved Ukraina er nær oss på iallfall fire måter, skriver @OddEnoksen i @Aftenposten:

Today #NATO#Defmin approved a new overarching strategic plan for defence and deterrence in times of crisis and conflict. NATO stands strong to protect the 1 billion people in our Alliance.
Great to be back in 🇪🇸 to meet PM @sanchezcastejon & prepare for #NATOSummit#Madrid on 29-30 June next year. We will take important steps to strengthen #NATO in a more competitive world. Thanks to #Spain for hosting our Alliance.
Thank you to NATO SG @jenstoltenberg for this recognition. Proud to have been at the forefront of #NATO efforts in this challenging period. Thank you to my extraordinary team and to the NATO community for the collective effort.
