At the Ay Yildiz Joint Headquarters, a reception will be hosted on July 7-8 in Ankara for visiting defense ministers and senior NATO representatives as part of the NATO Heads of State and Government Summit.
The NATO Summit to be held in Türkiye will be an important platform that reaffirms the alliance's unwavering commitment to collective defense, strengthens its adaptation to the changing security environment and its shared deterrence concept, and shapes its future strategic direction. It will also once again demonstrate Türkiye's position in the international security architecture and its strategic role within the alliance.
