NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said NATO's new maritime hub "will enhance our situational awareness and enhance our maritime presence for deterrence and defense."
According to Reuters, on June 14, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he hopes defense ministers of the alliance will agree to establish a new NATO maritime center to ensure security for important maritime infrastructure when they meet on June 15.
“The center will enhance our situational awareness and enhance our maritime presence for deterrence and defense,” said the NATO Secretary General.
In addition, Mr. Stoltenberg added that the ministers will consider a new weapons production action plan, with the aim of increasing the compatibility of equipment and ammunition of NATO members.
In addition, Secretary General Stoltenberg also said that negotiations in Turkey on Sweden's efforts to join the Western alliance had made some progress.
Sweden, along with Finland, applied to join NATO last year, ending a decades-long policy of military non-alignment.
The two Nordic countries' membership applications were approved at the NATO Summit in June 2022.
To officially become a member of NATO, the application for membership must be ratified by all alliance member countries.
On April 4, Finland officially joined NATO, becoming the 31st member of this military alliance.
However, Türkiye and Hungary do not currently support Sweden joining the alliance.
Turkey believes Sweden harbors members of armed groups that Ankara considers terrorists./.
