"Without facts, you can't have truth. Without truth, you can't have trust. Without trust, we have no shared reality, no democracy and it becomes impossible to deal with the existential problems of our times."

Two new #Arctic members of @NATO, #Finland and #Sweden, add to #NATO capabilities in the region and help with #China, which views itself as a 'Near-Arctic' state. @jensstoltenberg @PolarInstitute

Stoltenberg makes the case [again] to the US that it needs friends, reminding that the US is "big" but that the rest of #NATO together is bigger.
"Size matters," he says at @WilsonCenterGEP.
Another emphasis: per GDP European allies provide much more aid to Ukraine than US.

Re-posting again because it’s worth emphasizing.

"Beijing can't have it both ways" -- supporting Russia but remaining cordial with the west, says #NATO chief Stoltenberg, speaking at @TheWilsonCenter in Washington.
"At some point unless China changes its course," he says, "allies need to impose a cost."

'It is not written in stone that North America and #Europe will always stand together. But I am an optimist and believe they will always stand together. The #US is good for #NATO security, but NATO is also good for US #security.' - @jensstoltenberg @NATO at @TheWilsonCenter

.#Ukraine cannot expect membership to @NATO at Washington Summit. Instead, it will be offered a bridge to deepen relations with #NATO.
@jensstoltenberg emphasized that all Allies must support Ukraine's membership. Removed MAP at last summit and created NATO-Ukraine Council.

Citizens cannot be used as pawns in a geopolitical game. As we mark the 3rd anniversary of the Declaration against Arbitrary Detention, we re-affirm our commitment to ending this practice, which endangers all global citizens.
Ambassador David Hale closed the @WilsonCenterMEP event with leaders from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and Qatar, saying their statements underscore “the awareness that the pre-October 7 world is done” and a new status quo is needed.
An audience member asks the Arab leaders @WilsonCenterMEP’s event whether they would consider threatening military action against Israel. Saudi FM Prince Faisal says, “violence is not the answer and we are not going to get drawn into this cycle of threat - counter threat” 1/2
