NATO foreign ministers are meeting in Brussels Tuesday, as Finland will become the 31st member of the Alliance.
“On this very day, in 1949, the Washington Treaty, NATO’s founding treaty, was signed in Washington and it is hard to imagine a better way of celebrating our anniversary than to have Finland becoming a full member of the Alliance,” NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters.
He said that during their 2-day meeting , the foreign ministers will address NATO’s support to Ukraine, security challenges emanating from the Middle East and North Africa, the importance of increased defense investments, and NATO’s Indo-Pacific partnerships.
“We will, tomorrow in our session, address a wide range of different security challenges, including those emanating from the Middle East and North Africa, including the fight against terrorism,” he said.
