EU’s von der Leyen at NATO Summit in Ankara:
Türkiye is one of the largest armed forces within NATO, of very big importance, and has always played an important role in the alliance.
But also, of course, in our relationship with the European Union.
And as I said, if you only look at SAFE, which are the 150 billion euros — 35 percent of that is a lot, is open to work, for example, together with Türkiye.
But the 800 billion up to 2030 is the decision of the member states — how to invest their defense allocation in order to fill the gaps. So there's a wide opportunity to have very close cooperation with each other.
