NATO Secretary General with the Prime Minister of Estonia 🇪🇪 Kaja Kallas, 27 JUN 2024
Joint press conference by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg with Kaja Kallas, Prime Minister of Estonia, 27 June 2024.
🗣 | NATO Secretary General:
Prime Minister Kallas,
Dear Kaja,
Welcome back to NATO Headquarters.
It’s great to see you again.
And thank you for your strong, personal commitment to our transatlantic Alliance and your leadership.
Estonia leads by example, by investing more than 3% of GDP on defence and also by providing unprecedented support to Ukraine and you have committed to continue the support.
And you also lead on the issue of innovation and cyber including with the NATO Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence in Tallinn.
So Estonia is contributing to our shared security, to our collective defence in many different ways.
And therefore, Estonia is a highly valued NATO Ally.
Then, of course, NATO supports Estonia also in many different ways, with a multinational battlegroup in Tapa, led by the United Kingdom, helping to deter any aggression against Estonia.
NATO fighter jets patrol the skies over Estonia and Spain will soon deploy air defence battery, a NASAM battery to your country to strengthen your air defences.
Then I would also like to add that the fact that we are now investing more across the whole Alliance also make NATO stronger to reinforce Estonia if needed.
We have several 100,000 troops on high readiness.
And we also have Finland and Sweden as members and of course with Finland and Sweden as members of NATO that has strengthened NATO, it has also made it much more easier to move equipment and forces into the Baltic region if needed.
Today in our meeting, we discussed the final preparations for the NATO Summit in Washington, which will take place in just two weeks’ time.
The main issue there will be our support for Ukraine.
President Putin believes that he can wait us out.
It is important that we demonstrate that that's not the case, that we are ready to stand by Ukraine for the long haul and therefore, I expect NATO leaders to agree that NATO will lead the coordination of security assistance and training for Ukraine with a new NATO command in Wiesbaden to coordinate training and the provision of security assistance to Ukraine.
And also that Allied leaders will agree a long term pledge of support to Ukraine.
This will provide Ukraine with greater predictability for the long haul.
I also expect leaders to send a clear message on Ukraine's path towards NATO membership.
We will of course also address our own deterrence and defence.
We have agreed new, more ambitious defence plans.
Allies are delivering more forces, high readiness, investing in high end capabilities and this year, 23 Allies are going to invest more than 2% of GDP on defence, which is great progress compared to where we were just a few years ago.
We will also address our global partners, especially our Indo Pacific partners and the European Union. The war in Ukraine demonstrates that our security is not regional, it is global, because we see how Iran, North Korea are providing weapons, drones, ammunition to Russia to enable them to conduct the war of aggression against Ukraine.
But we also see how China is propping up the Russian war economy enabling Russia to support -to conduct a war of aggression against Ukraine.
So therefore, it is important that we meet with our Asia Pacific partners as we will do at the Summit in Washington.
So once again, Prime Minister Kallas, it's great to have you here.
It's great to see how Estonia is really stepping up and investing heavily and doing more for NATO and your strong personal commitment to NATO.

@19:55: “don't go and share the bear skin before the bear has been shot.”
Good press conference. Thanks to Stoltenberg for a long, good leadership of NATO.Thanks to PM Kaja Kallas for being clear, concise, and with good understanding of both the threat from outside (from russia) as well as the cooperation needed and seeing NATO as a united effort rather than individual countries. Put Kallas on the list as possible future Secretary General. 14:25 _"...Luxemburg increasing defense spending 'although they have much better neighbours than we do'..."_ Well said, Kaja.
Glory to NATO the best alliance ever 👏👏👏
Rather than set targets on how much money you have to spend we have to set capability targets and we are in excellent position to do that of the back off new regional plans. Will be supper easy define what is expected from each ally. Setting % of gdp target can easily lead inefficient spending where are setting capability target incentivizes smart spending.
Till end we are one human beings 💕.
I oray man of the moment ",zenalesky," makes his way as a member.
In other words : Russia doesn't stand a chance if it messes with NATO
Kaja Kallas should be president of USA

China has been helping russia almost since day one, Im glad the general secretary is finally able to say this now... like 3 years later..
I don't understand why European and NATO leaders keep saying that the alliance is not regional but global. Of course it is! Did anyone look at a map and globe? The USA has a state in the middle of the Pacific - Hawaii - It has a state that is only 50 miles from Russia across the Bering strait - Alaska. It has two commonwealth's that are closer to China and Korea than they are to the USA - that is the Guam and the Northern Marians. Both are integrated into the USA and its residents are US citizens. So - as the USA is a member of NATO, by extension NATO is in the Pacific and and very close to the continent of Asia itself. I know the alliance stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization,,, but both the USA and Canada are not just Atlantic powers, but also Pacific powers.
Glory to Ukraine and all of Nato. Freedom for all democratic countries

If NATO was an exclusive Golf Club, Canada would still demand to play on the course while still years behind on paying their membership dues. The members would have a meeting and agree to kick Canada out. But NATO is not a private club it is a far more serious organization, and yet Canada is allowed to wriggle out of its responsibilities like a slippery eel. Trudeau shifts the budgets of other Gov't departments under defense to artificially make it look like Canada's defense spending is up. Trudeau is personally against spending money on weapons of any type, if it cannot be reduced to creating jobs for the Province of Quebec and French Canadians. One example of this I saw in Montreal was a Liberal Gov't contract given to Vickers Shipyard. It was a typical example of flawed defense spending. The contract kept 200 men employed taking apart and then reassembling an old box like tracked troop carrier. Over and over month after month the vehicle would be entirely taken apart, and then reassembled, the same process was repeated. But it was a short work day for the men. They would down tools at 11:30 am, and walk across the railway tracks to the several strip bars located for their convenience. Those who did return to the job, did so around 3:00 pm to make coffee break. The rest stay at the club. All were paid for at least 8 hours. That is your typical Quebec tradesman and why nothing can be built on budget in that province of Quebec. This is just one typical Liberal scam to use up Defense spending without buying weapons. This has been going on for almost 50 years and explains why Canada has only a mere handful of actual warriors in uniform.

Zelenskyy is not holding elections because of the war - no democratic country does that while under invasion. NATO are not at war and Stoltenberg did not decide on things - he helped bring about agreements from member countries.
