So, good afternoon.

Secretary Mattis, it’s great to welcome you to NATO Headquarters.

We spoke on the phone on the first day when you had taken up your position as Secretary of Defence, but it’s great to welcome you here at NATO Headquarters and be able to congratulate you on your appointment and to say to you that I really look forward to working together with you.

You are an accomplished leader, you know NATO very well. You served as our Supreme Allied Commander for Transformation, and you made sure that NATO adapted to a new and more demanding security environment. But NATO has to continue to adapt and that’s exactly what we are going to address at our meeting today. How NATO continues to adapt to a new security environment.

This is a crucial time for our transatlantic Alliance. The challenges we face are the most complex and demanding in a generation. Neither Europe nor North America can tackle them alone. A strong NATO is good for Europe, a strong Europe is good for North America. And therefore, I welcome the US commitment to the transatlantic bond. This is a commitment which we can see not only in words but also in deeds. US troops and equipment are now arriving in Poland and the Baltic countries. This is a clear demonstration of US determination to stand with Europe in these troubled times. 

At the same time, the US has been clear that we need more defence spending, and fairer burden-sharing. This has been my top priority since I took office in 2014. After many years of cuts, I am glad to say that we have turned a corner. Our latest figures, which we published yesterday, show that defence spending among European Allies and Canada increased by 3.8% in real terms in 2016.  And that is roughly 10 billion US dollars. This is significant, but it is not enough. We have to continue to increase defence spending across Europe and Canada. So, we need to keep the momentum.

At our meeting, we will also assess what more NATO can do in the fight against terrorism. This is a concern to our people on both sides of the Atlantic and NATO must play our full part.

We have been helping to fight terrorism in Afghanistan for almost 15 years. We are training Iraqi officers and supporting the Counter-ISIL Coalition with AWACS surveillance planes.

Today, we will decide to set up a new Hub for the South at our Joint Force Command in Naples.

This will help us assess and address threats from the region. And it will complement the work of our new Intelligence Division here at NATO Headquarters.  

So Secretary Mattis, this will be an important meeting. We have a lot of work ahead. And I really look forward to working with you, and once again welcome, I should rather say welcome back to NATO.
