2025 The Hague NATO summit
Updated: Wikipedia source
The 2025 The Hague summit was a meeting of the heads of state and heads of government of the thirty-two members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), their partner countries, and the European Union (EU). It was held in The Hague, Netherlands, on 24–25 June 2025. As the first NATO summit ever hosted by the Netherlands, it marked the inaugural summit for new NATO secretary general Mark Rutte, a former prime minister of the Netherlands and a native of The Hague. The summit focused on member states' pledge to increase defence spending to five percent of GDP. While Australia and South Korea were also invited, only the prime minister of New Zealand and Japan's senior-level delegation represented non-Atlantic partner countries. On the sides of the summit, bilateral meetings, including between Donald Trump, US president, and, separately, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, president of Ukraine, and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, president of Turkey, were held.
