Hussar attends NATO Parliamentary Summit in Brussels

Hussar said that the main topic of the meeting of the Speakers of NATO countries would be rapid increasing of the defence spending of the Allies, as well as the strengthening of defence industries and the organisation of large-scale joint procurements to meet NATO’s defence plans and capability goals. He noted that Estonia supported the setting of a common five per cent target for defence spending in the Alliance, and would proceed from this in its plans for the coming years.

“It is also very important to keep the need to support Ukraine in focus, and to highlight the threat posed to the security of the entire Alliance by Russia, which continues a war of aggression in Ukraine,” Hussar said, and added that Ukraine’s accession to NATO would be the best security guarantee both for Ukraine and for all Allies.

The meeting of the Speakers is convened by the NATO Parliamentary Assembly ahead of the NATO Summit, which will take place on 24 and 25 June in The Hague, the Netherlands. Prime Minister Kristen Michal will represent Estonia at the NATO Summit.
