NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Friday 22 October that it was time for the EU and the Atlantic Alliance to update their cooperation.
“The time has come to make a third declaration [after those of 2016 and 2018], to update, to define our ambitions on enhanced cooperation between NATO and the EU”, he explained at the end of the second day of the meeting of the defence ministers of the Allied countries. The aim is to adopt a new declaration of cooperation in December.
