Albania to host next NATO summit, Rutte says
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced that the alliance's next summit will be held in Albania following the conclusion of the 36th NATO Summit hosted by Türkiye in Ankara.
Speaking at a press conference after the summit, Rutte thanked President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for hosting the two-day meeting and described the Ankara Summit as a success.
Rutte said decisions taken at last year's NATO Summit in The Hague are already being implemented and that allies are continuing work to fulfill their commitments.
He also confirmed that the next NATO Summit will take place in Albania, adding that the exact date has not yet been decided.
Albania will become the first country in the Western Balkans to host a NATO Summit since joining the alliance in 2009, marking another milestone in the country's role within NATO. (ILKHA)
