The United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities is celebrated every year on December 3rd. This year, the international community is also celebrating the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Geneva Conventions of 1949. The Geneva Conventions are cornerstones of international humanitarian law that came in the wake of World War II and the Holocaust, when hundreds of thousands of persons with disabilities were exterminated alongside Jewish people and other minorities.

Prime-minister, dear Kyriakos,It's great to be back here in Athens, in Greece. Indeed, today, we discussed and will discuss regional security challenges and how we as Allies can continue to provide meaningful support to Ukraine. Greece joined NATO indeed, more than 70 years ago, 72 years ago, to be precise, and since then, you have been a dedicated Ally, and you have played a crucial role in supporting our collective defence. Greece has long made security a priority, investing 3% of GDP in defence.

Prime Minister Meloni, dear Giorgia,It is a pleasure to meet again here in the Eternal City.  And thank you for welcoming me and my delegation and indeed for our discussions on a broad range of issues, all related to our defence and security. Italy is one of NATO’s founders. It is a staunch and reliable Ally. You are contributing in many ways to Euro-Atlantic security. You lead NATO’s new battlegroup in Bulgaria. You continue to provide troops to NATO deployments, as you said, in Hungary and Latvia.

Chancellor Scholz, dear Olaf,Thank you very much for the cordial reception here in Berlin. It is always a pleasure to be here. We worked together as friends during my time as Prime Minister of the Netherlands. And I am looking forward to continuing our good cooperation as NATO Secretary General. Germany makes a major contribution to our shared security. You are increasing your presence in the eastern part of our Alliance. You are permanently deploying a full brigade to Lithuania.

As I approach the end of my tenure as NATO Secretary General, I look back at some of the important lessons of the past 10 years that I believe must continue to guide the Alliance in the future. The world has changed profoundly since 2014 when I took up my post as NATO Secretary General.
