Opening remarks

Thank you so much. Welcome. Our session this morning will focus on our deterrence and defence agenda as we prepare the Summit in Washington D.C. next month. We will discuss our progress on ensuring that our defence plans are solid and ready to be executed. We will address defence industrial production to ensure delivery of the critical capabilities needed, both for our own defence and to continue to support Ukraine. This morning we'll also finalize the plan for NATO security assistance and training for Ukraine. This concludes the public part of the meeting. I thank the media for joining us at the start of the meeting.
