European Parliament Engages in Strategic Dialogue with NATO Chief Rutte

European Parliament Engages in Strategic Dialogue with NATO Chief Rutte

MEPs convene with the NATO Secretary General to address security challenges amid the Ukraine conflict and shifting US political landscape.
On January 13th, the European Parliament will host a significant dialogue on European and global security featuring NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Scheduled from 16:00 to 17:15 CET, the meeting will take place at the ANTALL 2Q2 in Brussels and will be accessible via the European Parliament's webstreaming services.

The assembly will bring together key figures from the European legislative body, including members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Subcommittee on Security and Defence, and the Delegation for Relations with the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

The discussions are set against the backdrop of Russia's ongoing aggressive military actions in Ukraine, coupled with the geopolitical shifts associated with the incoming United States administration.

Central to the agenda are strategies to bolster NATO's defence and deterrence capabilities, alongside the provision of military assistance to Ukraine.

As the conflict in Ukraine persists, NATO's role in supporting European defence efforts remains a focal point for the Member of the European Parliament (MEPs).

In addition to these pressing issues, the dialogue will extend to encompass various regional and global security threats necessitating robust cooperation between the European Union and NATO.

Following the meeting, a joint press point is scheduled with David McAllister, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee (EPP, Germany); Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, Chair of the Subcommittee on Security and Defence (Renew Europe, Germany); and NATO Secretary General Rutte.

This will provide an opportunity for further insights into the outcomes of the discussions.

For those interested in following the developments, the session and press point can be streamed live through the Parliament’s Multimedia Centre and on EBS.

Additionally, highlights and key updates will be available on the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs and Defence committees' social media channels, ensuring comprehensive coverage of this critical security dialogue.
