MADRID, June 29 (KUNA) -- NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on Wednesday that the bloc's summit due later today will be a "historic and tuning point" event.
Upon arrival in Madrid, he said there will be essential changes and Finland and Sweden will be invited to join NATO as Turkey greenlit the move.
He added the allied leaders will also adopt NATO's new Madrid Strategic Concept, the Alliance's blueprint for keeping its one billion citizens safe in a more dangerous and competitive world.
The NATO chief noted that the organization is entering "a new era of strategic competition" and must be united to face the new challenges".
The summit also deals with long-term support for Ukraine in face of the Russian war, as President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to attend a special session on his country via videoconference. (end) hnd.mt
