NATO must prove it is a living, strong alliance - president
NATO needs to prove that it is a living, strong and reliable alliance, and to do it must considerably strengthen its defensive and deterring capability, President Andrzej Duda said on Friday, the opening day of the NATO summit in Warsaw.
"Here in Warsaw NATO must prove that it is and will remain a living, strong and reliable alliance for peace, freedom and democracy. In order for it to be able to remain this way, it will need to considerably reinforce its deterring and defensive capability", the president said at the opening of a Warsaw Summit Experts' Forum accompanying the NATO summit.
According to Duda, the biggest threat to the security of the NATO members were not countries or nations, but "a policy of force which ignores the norms of international law, and even such basic norms as the right to territorial integrity or sovereignty".(PAP)
