“We are here today to go further and faster,” said the Secretary General, “to procure the capabilities which NATO needs, and to work collectively together, and with industry”.
The Secretary General highlighted the importance of working on more multinational procurement, including for munitions, and stressed the importance of NATO standards. He further stressed the importance of boosting defence production while working more closely with industry, and addressing potential bottlenecks and supply chain vulnerabilities.
Meeting at least twice a year, the CNAD’s mission is to enable cooperation in the delivery of interoperable military capabilities. It ensures that NATO forces have state-of-the-art capabilities readily available at all times.
