Despite my serious expression (I blame the unusual sunshine), behind me is the fantastic SHAPE international band playing at BRU Jazz weekend ‘promoting peace, unity and love through music’. A tremendous round of applause followed. NATO brings people together!
🎥 Check out this week’s #NATO brief.
Allies gathered at the #NATOSummit in Washington DC to take important decisions to make the Alliance stronger & Allies safer.
Today we celebrate #NATO's 75th anniversary - 75 years of preserving peace & security for more than 1bn people.
