NATO was born after the Second World War and evolved in a positive way, approaching Russia after the fall of the Berlin Wall and after the breakup of the Soviet Union. But little by little problems have arisen between European countries and the United States and Russia, especially over nuclear issues. At the moment we are, for Javier Solana, “Russia has behaved like an aggressor country and therefore, NATO has to consider this new situation.” This will be one of the central points of the Atlantic Alliance summit in Madrid, although the former Secretary General of NATO believes that there are other relevant issues that will be addressed in Madrid.
In the video that accompanies this news, Javier Solana covers three other essential points for the future of NATO. What role should the United States play? To what extent does the Atlantic power want to engage with Europe? The geostrategic changes in recent years may have changed Washington’s interests. Solana reveals this issue and also addresses the growing importance of another power: China. How should NATO treat the Asian giant? What should be Europe’s reaction to Chinese rearmament? Finally, one of the issues that most worries Spain: the southern border and the protection of Ceuta and Melilla. Although the Alliance is going to evolve its strategy to defend the territorial integrity of the Member States, to what extent does this include Ceuta and Melilla? Will NATO missions be deployed in these two cities? Javier Solana answers these questions in the video to draw essential elements of the future of NATO.
