NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte
Indeed, today, we are launching a multinational project on defence critical raw materials. For our defence to remain ready and strong, we need our industrial base and our supply chains to be resilient and secure. This means we need a stable supply of materials and companies and components across critical sectors, regardless of potential shocks or disruptions. That’s what this new project is all about. Several Allies are committed to working together to acquire, store, transport and manage stockpiles of defence critical materials, components and recycled products. This project demonstrates Allies’ strong belief in a cooperative approach as the best way to increase security.
NATO Spokesperson Allison Hart
I would now like to invite the participating Allied representatives of the Defence Critical Raw Materials initiative to the stage: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and Türkiye. Thank you very much. Allies, you may return to your seats. And we will now introduce NATO’s Drone Edge initiative, and we have a video to play.
