NATO assures over collective defence in face of Covid-19 crisis
Analysis: NATO assures over collective defence in face of Covid-19 crisis
By: Nicholas Florenza - Brussels - Jane's Defence Weekly - 04-15-20 Re: https://www.janes.com/article/95520/...ovid-19-crisis NATO is reinforcing its deterrence and collective defence capabilities during the Covid-19 crisis but the pandemic could have longer-term effects on allies’ defence spending and solidarity. Nicholas Fiorenza reports - In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic NATO is taking steps to ensure that the outbreak does not hurt its ability to defend its eastern flank. After NATO’s first virtual foreign ministers’ meeting on 2 April Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg emphasised to reporters that the alliance’s primary responsibility “is to deliver security and defence for almost one billion people”. Referencing Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) General Tod Wolters’ update to ministers on the state of allied military preparedness during the Covid-19 crisis, Stoltenberg said that NATO’s ability to conduct operations had not been undermined.
