National Points of Contact for Defence and related security Capacity Building (DCB) held their annual meeting at NATO Headquarters, Brussels, on 19 November 2025. 

Experts from Allies, partners and the NATO staff reviewed progress on the implementation of programmes within the framework of the DCB Initiative, including resource management and specific DCB packages for NATO partners. They also shared views on future priorities, and identified opportunities to further strengthen networks across the DCB community. 

The DCB Initiative is NATO's primary mechanism for assisting partners in strengthening their defence capacities and capabilities, improving resilience, and building capacities to address complex security challenges. By providing strategic advice, education, training, equipment, and infrastructure to eight NATO partners, the DCB Initiative contributes significantly to the Alliance's overall security and stability.

In her keynote speech, the Deputy Assistant Secretary General for the Operations Division, Ms. Burcu San, emphasised that “what DCB delivers is at the intersection of the partners’ and Allies’ interest.” She also highlighted that “DCB strengthens entire defence ecosystems, combines unique operational know-how from Allies and NATO’s Command Structure in joint planning, and enables partners to operate side-by-side with Allied forces.”

This year marks the 11th anniversary of the DCB Initiative, launched at the Wales Summit of NATO Heads of State and Government, in 2014.
