Ankara ready for NATO summit amid large-scale buildup
Ankara will serve as the crucible for global diplomacy on July 7–8, as Türkiye hosts one of the most consequential NATO summits in history to unite all 32 member states under a renewed strategic vision.
The 36th NATO leaders summit is expected to bring heads of state and government from all members, along with invited partners, roughly 100 ministers, senior diplomats and thousands of international guests.
Turkish officials say the event will mark a key moment in shaping what some are calling “NATO 3.0,” a reference to an emerging strategic concept aimed at redefining the alliance’s future security posture.
About 3,000 journalists, camera crews and international media representatives have been accredited to cover the summit, making it one of the largest press gatherings in NATO summit history. The International Media Center has been set up at the Presidential National Library in Ankara.
