During his first official visit to Berlin on Monday (4 November), NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte thanked Chancellor Olaf Scholz for Germany’s significant contributions to the Alliance and its ongoing support for Ukraine.

The Secretary General praised Chancellor Scholz’s “personal leadership and commitment” to investing more in defence. “Germany now invests 2 percent of its GDP in defence for the first time in three decades. This is important for Germany and for NATO,” he said.
 
The Secretary General highlighted Germany’s contributions to NATO, including its presence in the eastern part of the Alliance where it is stationing a full brigade in Lithuania. Mr Rutte welcomed the opening of Germany’s new naval headquarters in Rostock, which will help to protect key trade and supply routes, and critical infrastructure in the Baltic Sea.
 
Mr Rutte also thanked Germany for being “the biggest European contributor of military aid” to Ukraine, underlining that Germany’s support “saves lives on the battlefield every day.” He also warned of more frequent Russian hybrid attacks against NATO Allies, saying “the shifting frontline in this war is no longer solely within Ukraine.”  Russia is interfering directly in Allies’ democracies, sabotaging industry and committing violence. “All of this to weaken us and to sow divisions, but NATO stands ready to deter and defend against these threats,” he said.
 
On Monday, the Secretary General also met with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius, and Chairman of the Defence Committee of the German Bundestag Marcus Faber.
