During the NATO summit held in The Hague, all member countries committed to a significant increase in defence and security spending, aiming to reach a total of 5% of their GDP by the year 2035. This pledge is structured to include at least 3.5% for core defence requirements such as military readiness, procurement, and modernization. Additionally, up to 1.5% will be allocated to broader security-related expenditures. This strategic financial commitment highlights NATO’s unified approach to enhancing collective defence capabilities in response to evolving global threats and maintaining military superiority and preparedness among member nations.
