2022 NATO Summit concludes with session on terrorism, North Africa

The heads of state and government, and foreign and defense ministers of 30 NATO allies participated in the session held in the morning on the last day of the summit.

During the three-day summit, NATO's next strategic concept, the 10-year blueprint underpinning the alliance's security challenges in the evolving global landscape and outlining the NATO political and military tasks set to address them, was adopted, thereby replacing the strategic concept adopted at the 2010 Lisbon summit.

The Allies also decided a ''fundamental shift in our deterrence and defense'', underpinned by increased defense investment and common funding, as well as more support to Ukraine for the longer term, according a NATO statement. (ILKHA)
