The #NATOSummit in Washington, D.C., has concluded, marking NATO's 75th anniversary with major decisions and plans for the future. Our Embassy Team was happy to welcome the Belgian delegation led by PM Alexander De Croo and Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib. During the NATO Summit, the Alliance celebrated numerous milestones and achievements, as well as newest members Finland and Sweden. It also sent out a powerful message to the world by reaffirming their commitment and readiness to defend democracy, freedom and security. We look back at the 3 days of the NATO Summit in Washington. Allies made decisions to further strengthen deterrence and defense, bolster long-term support to Ukraine and deepen global partnerships. The pledges include: - More immediate military aid for Ukraine, including air defense systems and F-16 jets. - A comprehensive support package to Ukraine that guarantees assistance to Ukraine in the long term. - Accelerating defense industrial capacity and production and to bolster transatlantic defense cooperation. - NATO will directly coordinate financial support for Ukraine via the new NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU). - Ukraine is on an irreversible path to NATO membership. - Deepening ties with Indo-Pacific partners.

Prime Minister Alexander De Croo and Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib are in Washington, DC, for the #NATOSummit, a historic moment of unity and strength among Allies. Last night, leaders from across the globe gathered at the Mellon Auditorium to commemorate 75 years since the signing of the #NorthAtlanticTreaty. This landmark location was chosen for the celebrations because it was there, on April 4, 1949, that the North Atlantic Treaty was signed. 75 years ago, Belgium was one of the twelve founding members who stood behind a shared vision of a peaceful and prosperous world. In his speech opening the Summit, President Joe Biden announced that Allies will provide #Ukraine with crucial air defense systems. The Allies reiterated their strong and unwavering support to Ukraine as its people bravely resist Russia’s aggression. PM De Croo and President Zelensky recently signed a security agreement which includes the delivery of thirty F-16 fighter jets to bolster Ukraine’s air defense against Russia. The 32 NATO Allies are charting the course to safeguard their one billion citizens and uphold our shared values amidst today's pressing security challenges.

The historic #NATOSummit begins tomorrow, gathering heads of state and government from #NATO member countries to mark the Alliance's journey since its founding in 1949. Starting from the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on April 4, 1949, famously known as the Washington Treaty, NATO has grown from 12 founding members to 32 nations dedicated to safeguarding peace and security. At the Treaty’s signature, Belgian PM Paul-Henri Spaak delivered a speech in which he stressed the importance of NATO in ensuring world peace. It was the first time in history that a military alliance was formed to preserve peace and not to wage war. Finland and Sweden became NATO's newest members in 2023 and 2024. The Alliance's solidarity has never been more evident, especially in the face of challenges like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which underscores the importance of transatlantic cooperation. Belgium, a proud founding member along the US, continues to play a crucial role as a host nation to two NATO Headquarters, reaffirming its commitment to NATO's mission of collective defense and international stability. The civil-military headquarters have been located in Brussels since 1966 and the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) military headquarters in Mons since 1967. At this week’s summit, NATO will reaffirm its unwavering commitment to #Ukraine and discuss the future of the Alliance. NATO's enduring legacy of peace, security, and freedom for over one billion people in Europe and North America stands strong, guided by its core principles of deterrence and defense, crisis prevention and management, and cooperative security. The primary aim of the North Atlantic Treaty was to create a pact of mutual assistance. Every participating country agreed that solidarity and collective defense were at the heart of the Treaty. Article 5 provides that if a NATO Ally is the victim of an armed attack, each and every other member of the Alliance will consider this act of violence as an armed attack against all members and will take the actions it deems necessary to assist the Ally attacked.
