magazines.rijksoverheid.nl/bz/veiligheids… De nieuwe veiligheidsdiplomaat is er weer! Met dit keer extra veel aandacht voor Afrika.

@BrunoTertrais And is this “European pillar” EU-only or does it consists of all European NATO allies?

Sounds good to me ! Honest question: is the "European pillar of NATO" expression common in GER these days? I never liked it since it may suggest that Europeans could form a coordinated bloc inside (which would not work).

Vandaag nieuwe Veiligheidsdiplomaat!Met daarin een gesprek met Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, over water en veiligheid, en vrouwen in Cyber. magazines.rijksoverheid.nl/bz/veiligheids…

Having a NATO cake and eat it at DVB @DutchMFA. Stroopwafels also included in the package.

In 2027 eerste Nederlandse fregat met Tomahawk, Walrusklasse vanaf 2029. Ook de nieuwe onderzeeboten en nieuwe fregatten krijgen Tomahawk. Meer: marineschepen.nl/nieuws/Marine-…

NL contributes an additional 75 mln € to this end. After 🇫🇮 we will be 32 at Vilnius 🇸🇪. Staying the NATO course.

@ATJMattelaer @ACWLapsley @phbertoux Taking into account the EU has 24 official languages whereas NATO only 2 the EU enjoys a real advantage over NATO. Another promising element for EU-NATO cooperation: nhqc3s.hq.nato.int/Apps/Architect…

@ACWLapsley @phbertoux Luckily all answers can be found in the NSO-produced AAPs. Even better, they do not require CE approval to enter into the single market of ideas!

Pour célébrer la Journée internationale des Acronymes, hommage à l’OTAN, inépuisable créatrice et réservoir infini ! MR D/SSDA, MFA 👍

@ItalyMFA_int @LucaFranchettiP @ItalyinPoland Forza Luca!

Congratulations to @LucaFranchettiP, the new Italian Ambassador in Warsaw 🇮🇹🤝🇵🇱 . @ItalyinPoland

Today marks the start of the Air Policing Mission conducted by the Royal Netherlands Air Force in 🇵🇱Malbork. Eight 🇳🇱 F35 Jet Fighters will patrol the 🇵🇱airspace and contribute to the defensive posture along #NATO's eastern flank. Excellent example of 🇳🇱🇵🇱 military cooperation!

@NATO @Kon_Luchtmacht @NLatNATO The Netherlands has deployed eight #F35 fighter jets to #Poland to join @NATO’s mission bolstering the defensive posture along the eastern flank. While four fighters will be employed in policing the skies, the other four aircraft will conduct training exercises with #NATO-allies.

Greatly admire the French, Romanian, and Dutch soldiers who work together on this base in Cincu under the flag of @NATO. Standing shoulder to shoulder, they ensure stability and security on NATO territory. On behalf of the Netherlands, I expressed my thanks for their efforts.

Nederland kan trots zijn op de mannen en vrouwen hier op de vliegbasis MK Air Base in #Roemenië. Groot respect voor hun inzet en toewijding voor de veiligheid van ons NAVO-grondgebied en de oostgrens. #MinBZ

Arrived at the MK Air Base in Romania. Dutch men and women are stationed here under @NATO leadership in preparation for an exercise. They do important work to protect, stabilise, and secure the Eastern border. Look forward to speaking with them today to learn about their mission.

Belangrijke mijlpaal: Het Europees Hof voor de Rechten van de Mens heeft vastgesteld dat Rusland betrokken was bij het neerhalen van vlucht #MH17. Het is de eerste keer dat een internationale rechter zich hierover uitspreekt, een duidelijk signaal aan Rusland. 1/2

How are the Dutch ministries of Defence and Foreign Affairs considering the use of AI for military purposes? And why are they organizing the @REAIMSummit? 💬 "The Summit is also about exploring what is admissable and what isn't," @Ingeborg_Den explains. @Defensie @DutchMFA

How can we work together to design #MilitaryAI regulations that incorporate criticism, worries and diminish risks? "It is up to all of us to decide what we think is acceptable and what isn't", says @PAXforpeace. 📹Watch the report: youtube.com/watch?v=z7Q2K7… 💠Follow @REAIMsummit
