NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and the President of the European Council, Charles Michel held press-conference ahead of a meeting of the European Council.

“Not Europe alone, not North America alone, but Europe and North America together.

And therefore as you, I welcome the very strong message from the new Biden administration, to rebuild alliances, to strengthen the transatlantic bond. And this will be also the main issue when NATO leaders meet later this year in Brussels.

NATO 2030 is a project where we are looking into how we can further strengthen NATO, the transatlantic bond, and that includes also how we can strengthen the cooperation with the European Union”, - said NATO Secretary General.
