British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will meet NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in London on Monday to discuss boosting defence spending across the alliance and the UK’s new Strategic Defence Review, Downing Street announced.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to host NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in London on Monday for talks focused on increasing defence spending among NATO allies, according to a Downing Street spokesperson.
“You can expect the Prime Minister and Secretary-General to talk about how we ensure all allies step up their defence spending now in order to respond to the threats that we face now,” the spokesperson said on Thursday.
The meeting will also cover Britain’s upcoming Strategic Defence Review, which aims to reassess the country's military posture amid growing global tensions, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and increasing security challenges in the Indo-Pacific.
The talks come ahead of the NATO summit scheduled for later this year, where member states are expected to renew commitments to the alliance’s defence targets, including the goal of spending at least 2% of GDP on defence.
