Opening remarks
by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the meeting of the North Atlantic Council (NAC) in Defence Ministers' session
(As delivered)
So good morning. I think we are ready to start. And thank you for an excellent dinner yesterday.
And welcome to this working session on NATO-EU cooperation.
At the Warsaw Summit in 2016, I signed a joint declaration with President Donald Tusk and President Jean-Claude Juncker.
And since then, NATO and the European Union have strengthened our level of cooperation.
In July, we plan to sign a new declaration to take NATO-EU cooperation even further.
We will consider a report on progress already made in several areas.
Including cyber, hybrid, terrorism, and maritime operations.
And we will discuss additional areas of NATO-EU cooperation.
Such as military mobility.
That concludes the public part of this meeting.
And once again I thank the media for being here together with us this morning.
