Great to attend the Chatham House #CHSecDef conference in London yesterday. Lots of interesting perspectives on int’l #security - inc reflecting on roles of the EU, NATO, UK & others in the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the climate crisis, and disinformation & elections

Enjoyed the opportunity today to participate in the 2024 Chatham House Security and Defence Conference with a.o. two excellent 🇳🇱speakers Hester Somsen our deputy national coordinator for security and counterterrorism and joanneke balfoort director 🇪🇺EAS #CHSecDef . Netherlands Embassy 🇬🇧

I loved chairing this session. Really good discussion on the challenges of dealing with legacy equipment, why W militaries have a legitimacy gap & need to address their emissions, & how climate proofing improves operational resilience. So pleased this was on the #CHSecDef agenda

'Our message to the [western] societies - what you've enjoyed over decades can be called 'spoiled with security'. Why not learn from Ukrainians? Don't take it for granted.

Protect yourselves now, because tomorrow might be too late.'

'18 allies (up from 3 in 2014) reaching 2% defence spending - good, but not good enough.

Quicker procurement. Continuing & more support to Ukraine - key points for the next NATO summit.'

'Slow decision making is already having an impact on Ukraine and it is undermining efficiency of the alliance and will have an impact on the ability of the allies to defend themselves.'
