VILNIUS, June 2 (Xinhua) — The Bucharest Nine (B9) summit was held in Lithuania’s capital Vilnius on Monday, where leaders of the B9 and Nordic countries announced their intention to gradually increase defense spending.
A joint statement released by the Lithuanian President’s Office said the leaders were “moving towards the goal of allocating at least 5 percent of GDP” to defense and defense-related investments.
The document, which enshrines the relevant commitment, was published following a meeting that was held under the joint chairmanship of the Presidents of Lithuania Gitanas Nausėda, Poland Andrzej Duda and Romania Nicusor Dan.
The next Bucharest Nine summit is expected to take place next year in Romania. –0–
