On Sunday (2 March 2025) NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte attended the Securing Our Future Summit in London, United Kingdom.

Heading into the meeting, the Secretary General stressed the three key points:

Support Ukraine today. All in Europe will need to give more.
We all want a peace deal, and it has to last. Europe is really stepping up here.
To keep NATO strong, Europe will increase defence spending.

Following what he described as ‘a very good meeting’, the Secretary General pointed to announcements from Finland and the United Kingdom, as the latest examples of Europe stepping up.

He recognised the importance of the initiative taken by the United Kingdom and France to support a lasting peace deal, with others wanting to help out.

And he praised efforts in both Europe and Canada to increase investment in defence, as necessary for security, and as a move to strike a fair balance with the US in terms of defence spending.
