NATO leaders gather for 75th anniversary summit. Here’s what to know
Al JazeeraUnited States President Joe Biden will host leaders of NATO in Washington, DC, this week as the military alliance marks 75 years since its formation amid security threats arising from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and China’s growing assertiveness in the Asia Pacific. Leaders of partner countries expected at the summit include: Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelenskyy Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of Japan Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese President Yoon Suk-yeol of South Korea New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon European Union leaders, including Charles Michel, head of the European Council, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen Foreign and defence ministers as well as other senior officials from NATO countries and their partners will also be present. At the summit, the alliance will “recognise Ukraine’s vital ongoing reform efforts and demonstrate allied support for Ukraine on its path to NATO membership”, Carpenter said. China’s deepening friendship with Russia is also of concern for the alliance, particularly as Beijing has been accused of providing dual-use material to the Russian military that US officials said has allowed Moscow to target Ukraine and poses a threat to European security.
