Good discussion with PM Nikol Pashinyan in Davos on continuing #NATO - #Armenia dialogue and cooperation. The South Caucasus region is important for our global security. I encourage efforts to promote enduring peace between 🇦🇲 and 🇦🇿.

Great to welcome 🇺🇸 Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth Pete Hegseth for your first meeting at #NATO. We’ve got work to do to make sure the Alliance stays strong. This means increasing defence spending, ramping up production, and Europe doing more to support Ukraine.

So good to host Gen. Keith Kellogg in Brussels. Today he consulted with Allies at NATO on working together to ensure just and lasting peace in Ukraine. We have a lot to do and will cooperate closely to pursue an end to the war and enduring security for us all.

Ready and willing. That’s my take from today’s meeting in Paris. Europe is ready and willing to step up. To lead in providing security guarantees for Ukraine. Ready and willing to invest a lot more in our security. The details will need to be decided but the commitment is clear.
