Türkiye is reaffirming its commitment to NATO by highlighting the strength of its homegrown defence sector.
Speaking at the Prague Defence Summit, Turkish Defence Industries Secretary Haluk Görgün said Ankara will continue to contribute to the alliance’s future with its indigenous and national capabilities.
In a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Görgün stressed the strong potential of Türkiye’s defence industry, describing it as a well-coordinated ecosystem.
He noted that with more than 3,500 companies and over 100,000 employees, the sector has become a key contributor not only to Türkiye’s security but also to international defence cooperation.
According to Görgün, Rutte openly praised Türkiye’s defence industry and underlined its role in strengthening the alliance’s position. He emphasised that Ankara is not only fulfilling its responsibilities within NATO but also shaping the alliance’s future with advanced technologies developed domestically.
Görgün also pointed out that Türkiye will present its perspectives on Europe’s defence vision at a panel called “The Future Face of European Defence Industry.”
He underlined that Ankara’s growing defence capacity will remain central to NATO’s ability to adapt to evolving threats, a role set to gain further importance when Türkiye hosts the NATO Summit in Ankara in 2026, bringing leaders together at a critical time for european and global security.
