2022 STRATEGIC CONCEPT
At the Madrid Summit, NATO will adopt its new Strategic Concept.
This key document reaffirms NATO's values, purpose and tasks. It provides a collective assessment of the security challenges facing the Alliance and outlines the political and military tasks NATO will carry out to address them.
The Strategic Concept is the result of internal consultation among Allies and external engagement with partners, other international organisations, expert communities, youth organisations, civil society and the private sector.

HOST COUNTRY
Spain is hosting the 2022 NATO Summit in an auspicious year – the 40th anniversary of its accession to NATO.
Spain became the 16th country to join NATO on 30 May 1982. The new member brought a lot to the table as it joined the 33-year-old Alliance – not only its military capabilities and its vital geostrategic location for Western European defence (positioned between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean), but also its diplomatic skill and political relations with Latin America, the Middle East and North Africa.
Eventually, a Spanish diplomat would serve as NATO Secretary General, guiding the Alliance through its first major peacekeeping operation and its transition from a Cold War organisation to a fully flexible security organisation engaged with new partners and prepared for new threats and challenges.
Alongside the Madrid Summit, a Public Forum is bringing together stakeholders beyond the traditional security and defence community in a discussion about the future of the Alliance.
Hosted by four leading civil society organisations – the Elcano Royal Institute, the German Marshall Fund, the Munich Security Conference and the Atlantic Council – the Public Forum features experts and decision-makers from around the world to add further perspectives to the Summit.
The event is open for registration of online audiences from across the globe, who will be able to join the interactive discussions. It will also be livestreamed on NATO YouTube.
Turkey, Sweden and Finland signed an agreement that paves the way for their acceptance into NATO. This news probably deserves its own thread.
Friends! At the opening of the NATO summit, journalists asked what Ukraine should strive to have security guarantees. I noted that the strategic goal enshrined in the Constitution of Ukraine is the entry of our state to the EU and NATO. Therefore, there is no need to invent a bicycle. Convinced, its struggle against Russian aggression Ukraine has proven that without it today it is impossible to ensure peace and stability in Europe and the Transatlantic space. Ukraine needs a NATO alliance just like NATO needs a strong and successful Ukraine. https://t.me/vitaliy_klitschko?fbclid=IwAR0aMhAvbHYc3n64By9YGOOCMRknu3jCQtVeXX_4zepuHsiusfmFUKrLWOo
Friends! We are with my brother at the opening of the historic NATO summit in Madrid. It began with a speech by the Alliance Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
The war with which Russia invaded Ukraine threatens world security and peace, caused the food and energy crisis. And forces the Alliance states to implement the transformation of collective defense.
Therefore, NATO will adopt a new strategic concept in Madrid.
And also, in the words of Mr. Stoltenberg, agree a wide package of support for Ukraine. The main thing is that the Alliance is ready and will support Ukrainians in the fight for independence and freedom. Because, will withstand Ukraine-will withstand the democratic world. Therefore, emphasized the NATO General Secretary, you cannot stop supporting Ukraine.
And Russia has to pay a very high price for the cruelty it commits in trying to destroy the Ukrainian state and its citizens.
