NATO parliamentary leaders call for unity, stronger defense
Parliamentary leaders from several NATO member states have called for stronger defense capabilities, alliance unity and closer cooperation during the NATO Parliamentary Summit in Istanbul.
Speaking at the summit hosted by Türkiye, Bulgarian National Assembly Speaker Mihaela Dotsova said the upcoming NATO leaders’ summit in Ankara would be an opportunity to reaffirm the alliance’s commitment to collective security and stability in the Euro-Atlantic region.
Dotsova said NATO remained a cornerstone of Bulgaria’s security at a time of growing instability and multiple conflicts, adding that Sofia was continuing to modernize its armed forces.
Croatian Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandrokovic said Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, hybrid threats, disruptive technologies and growing strategic competition were reshaping Europe’s security landscape.
