NATO transformation and reform vital to facing new challenges
On 26 April, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen delivered a key speech at the Belgian Royal High Institute for Defence in Brussels, stressing that transformation and reform are vital to making NATO more effective and adaptable in tackling new security threats.
The Secretary General explained six ways NATO can get better value for taxpayers’ money while retaining adequate resources, even in a time of financial crisis:
“Prioritization, collective solutions, common funding, specialization, avoiding duplication, and reform – these are all opportunities for making NATO more effective and for making better use of our nations’ limited defence resources,” he said.
“They are also opportunities for ensuring that NATO continues to deliver value for money, and real security.”
