NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte met the heads of civilian intelligence services and military intelligence members from all 32 Allies in Brussels on Wednesday (19 November 2025). The NATO Civilian Intelligence Committee (CIC), Military Intelligence Committee (MIC), and Joint CIC-MIC Plenary meetings were held at NATO Headquarters this week.

“We would not be able to counter the ever-growing and more sophisticated threats that we face as an Alliance without the contribution of Allied intelligence services,” the Secretary General said, adding that “Intelligence has a critical role to play in informing our defence plans, raising awareness of the capabilities of our adversaries, and continuing our aid to Ukraine.”

The series of meetings saw strategic discussions between Allies on key intelligence issues, and discussions with valued NATO partners. Agenda topics included, but were not limited to, Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine, Moscow’s relationships with China, North Korea, Belarus, and Iran, and the future of NATO intelligence, including the integration of emerging and disruptive technologies.

“The conflict in Ukraine clearly demonstrates that our security is not regional, but global, and this underscores the importance of intelligence,” said Secretary General Rutte. NATO Allies have never shared intelligence faster, more robustly, and on a wider range of topics than right now.

Chair of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone underlined that every day, NATO Allies are reminded that they face increasingly multi-dimensional threats. The Admiral went on to say that “I am consistently impressed by the depth, breadth, and quality of NATO intelligence. It all has impact and relevance to the Military Committee, our leaders, and to our staff so that we can navigate our current security environment.”

The annual meetings bring Allies together to discuss intelligence policy, strategy, and planning, in order to bolster support for Alliance planning, operations, and decision-making. In addition to the annual plenary meetings in Brussels, each committee meets regularly throughout the year.
