#NATOSummit
The North Atlantic Treaty Alliance will hold its 28th Summit this summer on 11-12 July in Brussels. NATO Summits convene at critical junctures and offer an opportunity to launch new initiatives on the road to a more secure and prosperous Alliance. From London, Madrid, Rome, Prague, to Warsaw, past Summits have paved the way to meet the threats on NATO’s horizon. Will Brussels 2018 be a watershed moment for the Alliance?
