The NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg, addressed faculty and students at Columbia University in New York today (Thursday 26 September). He spoke of how our democratic values are under pressure as a shifting global balance of power and new disruptive technologies increase instability around the world. A strong and united NATO remains the best way to protect our open, democratic societies.
