Credible defence begins with prepared societies, informed citizens and strong democratic leadership. In her keynote at the Sarajevo Security Conference, NATO PA Secretary General @benedettabertiw stressed the strategic importance of the #WesternBalkans and the central role of parliaments in fostering a culture of defence and preparedness.

A dynamic twoโ€‘day visit to the Farnborough International Airshow. President @MarcosPerestre1, SecGen @benedettabertiw and #NATOPA delegates met leading defence innovators across the transatlantic industrial base. They gained firsthand insight into the technologies and production scaleโ€‘up shaping Allied readiness. Industrial capacity is key to turn commitments into capability, and capability into credible deterrence. The transatlantic defence ecosystem is accelerating.

As the #NATOPA visit to #Canada continues, one message stands out: strong security starts with informed decision-making. In democracies, defence and security are not only military matters, but political ones. Bringing parliamentarians together is essential to building a stronger Alliance.
What does Arctic security mean for Canada and our allies? .@SenRPatterson explains why bringing decision-makers together through the NATO Parliamentary Assembly is an important part of strengthening security, sovereignty and co-operation in the North. #SenCA @natopa #NATOPA @ParlDiplomacy

Today we welcomed ~30 parliamentarians from 15 NATO countries to Canada for a @ParlDiplomacy fact-finding mission on Arctic security, from briefings in Ottawa to the ground in Iqaluit. Proud to host at a pivotal moment for the North. parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/14โ€ฆ #CANA #NATOPA #Arctic

A stronger Europe in a stronger #NATO needs a whole of society mindset shift. Deterrence and defence is not only about defence investment and defence capability targets. It is also about how societies, governments, and citizens understand security. A mindset shift is about responsibility, resolve, and societal engagement.
