MOSCOW (Sputnik) — NATO and the European Union have signed more agreements in the past six months than over the last 13 years, the alliance's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Friday.
"We have actually concluded more formal arrangements in the past six months than in the previous 13 years. And that says something about that we are making progress in the cooperation between NATO and the European Union," Stoltenberg said at a press conference after the signing of the NATO-EU declaration with the heads of the European Commission and the European Council.
The NATO chief said the alliance and the bloc would work more closely on cybersecurity and defense issues to be ready to respond to hybrid threats. There will also be NATO-EU cooperation on tackling the migrant crisis Europe is suffering from.
NATO summit is taking place on July 8-9 in Poland's capital Warsaw.
