Mark Rutte

It was great to be in Yerevan 🇦🇲 for the 8th European Political Community Summit, hosted by Prime Minister @NikolPashinyan In a more complex security environment, working together is more important than ever to make our societies stronger and safer. NATO continues to play a key role as the cornerstone of Allied security

I am shocked by the attack on the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Relieved that President Trump, the First Lady and all the guests are safe and sound This was an attack on our free and open societies. We stand for democracy and in solidarity with the United States

Accelerating defence production and innovation is a top priority for NATO and it will be one of the key themes of our #NATOsummit in Ankara in July In today’s more dangerous world, we need strong defences to protect our security

Spoke with Rumen Radev following his election victory in Bulgaria 🇧🇬 I look forward to continued cooperation on shared security challenges

Good conversation with my friend @AndrejBabis in Prague. Important to discuss Euro-Atlantic security & how we can continue to keep our citizens in NATO safe. I thanked Czechia for its contributions to our shared security & we discussed priorities for the upcoming Summit in Ankara

Great to see @EU_Commission @vonderleyen and discuss how to further strengthen our essential NATO-EU cooperation, including ramping up defence industrial production, continuing vital support to Ukraine, and protecting critical infrastructure A stronger Europe means a stronger NATO

Good session of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group in Berlin today. Vital military equipment from NATO Allies continues to flow into Ukraine, including through PURL and many countries stepped up with new contributions This is key, because Ukraine’s security is our security

Good call with @magyarpeterMP last night after his election win in #Hungary. I look forward to working with him to further strengthen Euro-Atlantic security.

Welcome UK 🇬🇧 and Norwegian 🇳🇴 operations against Russian submarines in the High North. These efforts to disrupt Russian surveillance of our critical undersea infrastructure protect us all. NATO continues to constantly monitor Russian military activity in the region

Honoured to speak at the @ReaganInstitute today Thanks to American leadership & a collective commitment to ensuring continued freedom and security, NATO is growing stronger. I am confident that we will continue to deliver - securing our freedom today, tomorrow, and well beyond

2025 was a landmark year for NATO - we took defining decisions that will shape the future of our Alliance for years to come In an ever-changing world, we continue to adapt to ensure we remain ready and able to keep our 1bn citizens safe Read my 2025 Annual Report: nato.int/sgar25 #SGReport
