The summit will also address arms deliveries to Ukraine.
The summit in The Hague is set to be one of the shortest gatherings of NATO leaders in the past quarter-century.
The first day will be devoted to bilateral meetings and a reception hosted by the King of the Netherlands. The working agenda consists of a single plenary session on June 25, lasting approximately three and a half hours. As a result, each of the 32 NATO leaders will be allotted no more than six minutes to speak, TASS reported.
According to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, who spoke at a pre-summit press conference, alliance leaders will adopt a military investment strategy based on the 5% GDP spending framework.
Under this plan, 3.5% of GDP should be allocated to direct defense expenditures, while the remaining 1.5% would fund economic and infrastructure projects, such as modernizing ports and transport networks essential to NATO’s defense capabilities.
