NATO to ‘shore up’ Georgia’s defence abilities

NATO Allies have agreed to help partner countries, including Georgia, to ‘strengthen their resilience’ and ‘shore up’ their defence abilities, Jens Stoltenberg, the Secretary-General of the Alliance, said following the meetings of NATO Foreign Ministers on Thursday.

Stoltenberg explained that support could be increased through the Substantial NATO-Georgia Package, a set of initiatives aiming to strengthen Georgia’s defence capabilities.

“For Georgia, we could increase our support through the Substantial NATO-Georgia Package. Including in areas like situational awareness, secure communications, and cyber,” Stoltenberg told the press.

The meetings of NATO Ministers of Foreign Affairs took place on 6 and 7 April in Brussels.
