Wales Summit to focus on readiness, Secretary General says in Denmark
15 August 2014
1 MIN READ
Next month’s NATO Summit in Wales will focus on the Alliance’s readiness to deal with the full range of threats, Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on a visit to Copenhagen on Friday (15 August). ''We will adopt a Readiness Action Plan to make ourselves faster and more agile,'' he said.
At the Summit, Allied leaders are expected to adopt a number of measures aimed at increasing NATO’s ability to respond to sudden threats.
These will include adopting an action plan to improve Alliance readiness, strengthening cooperation with partners, and assisting states which ask for help to strengthen their defence institutions, the Secretary General said.
Mr Fogh Rasmussen praised Denmark for its contribution to the Alliance’s operations and missions.
“Denmark is always ready to contribute, through multinational cooperation to develop modern military capabilities, or operations in Afghanistan, Kosovo, Libya, fighting piracy or reinforcing our collective defence,” he said.
He underlined that the success of the Alliance will depend on all Allies investing adequately in security and defence, especially given the new security climate created by Russia's illegal actions against Ukraine.
"Security is like insurance: to have the best insurance, you have to pay the premium. We are now facing a new security situation, and the premium has gone up," he said.
