NATO leaders meet for a summit in Brussels | Bidyot Bhowmik
NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is a powerful political and military alliance of 30 European and North American countries. It was established after 2nd World War in 1949 in response to the threat of communist expansion by Soviet Union. NATO leaders meet for a summit in Brussels on 14th June 2021. At the NATO Summit in Brussels on Monday, the 14 June 2021, the NATO Leaders took decisions on a wide range of topics to address the security challenges of today and tomorrow
NATO leaders also warned of the military threat posed by China, saying its behaviour is a “systemic challenge”. China, they said, was rapidly expanding its nuclear arsenal, was “opaque” about its military modernisation and was co-operating militarily with Russia.
NATO Leaders discussed a wide range of issues at the 2021 Brussels Summit, including the main themes of the NATO 2030 initiative: how to reinforce the Alliance’s unity, broaden its approach to security and contribute to safeguarding the rules-based international order. They took decisions to prepare NATO for the challenges of today and tomorrow, including Russia’s pattern of aggressive behaviour, terrorism, cyber attacks and disruptive technologies, the rise of China, and the security implications of climate change. The six G 7 countries e,g. the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy are also the prominent and powerful members of NATO. The present leaders as well as heads of Governments of the G-7 countries are U.S President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson; Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel; French President Emmanuel Macron, and Italian Prime Minister, Mario Dragi also attended the NATO summit in Brussels on 14th June after finishing the G-7 in United Kingdom. The other NATO members are Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxemburg, Norway, Lithuania, Astonia, Latvia, Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Bulgaria, Poland, Croatia. Czech Republic, Denmark, Slovakia, Slovenia, Iceland, Montenegro, Hungary, North Mecedonia, Iceland, Albania and Romania.
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg warned China was “coming closer” to NATO in military and technological terms. But he stressed the alliance did not want a new Cold War with China.
Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, has said he is looking forward to working with US President Joe Biden because he understands the importance of rebuilding alliances.
“We need to stand together because we are faced with so many different challenges at same time,” he told BBC news.“I don’t believe in America alone, I don’t believe in Europe alone, I strongly believe in Europe and North America together in NATO. As long as we stand together we are all safe and we can preserve peace,” Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg said.
The world’s most powerful defence alliance named MATO agreed on Monday to step up efforts to tackle climate change for the first time. NATO – the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation – said its members have pledged to “significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from military activities” in a way that does not impact personnel safety or the effectiveness of their operations.
In a statement released after a summit in Brussels, the group also asked the organisation’s leader to develop a realistic, ambitious and concrete target for reducing NATO emissions and to assess the feasibility of reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
