On Tuesday (20 May 2025), NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte attended the Foreign Affairs Council with EU Defence Ministers. He highlighted the importance of closer NATO-EU relations, in light of the threats from Russia, China's military build-up, and terrorism.

Mr Rutte underlined the need to ramp up defence spending and production, and "to make sure that Ukraine has what it needs to bring this war to a lasting and durable end."
