(ENG) Leangkollen Security Conference 2021 | SESSION 1 - NATO 2030: THE WAY FORWARD

Faced with continuous conflicts and disputes the world of security is changing faster than ever before. Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, has stressed that it is time to update the decade old strategic concept of the Alliance.

How will NATO continue to reassure its relevance on both sides of the Atlantic? Will the Alliance be able to safeguard the interests of all its 30 member states? What about the entering Biden administration – will it contribute to strengthen the transatlantic relationship?

Are European NATO members ready to take on more responsibility in defending its own interests at home? And will Europe be able to unite and set sail for a common direction?
