00:04.100 --> 00:06.550
- NATO is helping our
neighbors become more stable

00:06.550 --> 00:09.103
which helps make us safer as well.

00:16.080 --> 00:20.320
In 2016, around 25,000 people
were killed by terrorism.

00:20.320 --> 00:22.715
The people in the region to NATO's south

00:22.715 --> 00:24.760
are suffering terribly.

00:24.760 --> 00:27.307
A network is growing of arms traffickers,

00:27.307 --> 00:31.110
people smugglers, drug
traffickers, and terrorists.

00:31.110 --> 00:34.042
The instability in that region
is contributing to terrorism

00:34.042 --> 00:38.163
as well as separately the
flow of migrants to Europe.

00:39.110 --> 00:42.060
Over 10,000 Ukrainians have
died since Russia began

00:42.060 --> 00:45.973
its aggressive actions
against Ukraine in 2014.

00:47.190 --> 00:50.370
These numbers alone indicate
that Euro-Atlantic security

00:50.370 --> 00:54.210
faces the most serious
challenge of a generation.

00:54.210 --> 00:57.510
The Alliance started a new
training mission in Iraq,

00:57.510 --> 00:59.930
will continue strengthening
defense capacity

00:59.930 --> 01:02.530
building support with Jordan and Tunisia,

01:02.530 --> 01:05.060
and provide more counterterrorism support

01:05.060 --> 01:06.700
and institution building

01:06.700 --> 01:09.460
to all our 12 partners in the region.

01:09.460 --> 01:11.410
In Europe, NATO will deepen our

01:11.410 --> 01:13.498
cooperation with Finland and Sweden,

01:13.498 --> 01:16.953
put more capability into the
Black Sea region in response

01:16.953 --> 01:20.520
to Russia moving military
equipment into Crimea,

01:20.520 --> 01:22.510
we'll also step up our cooperation with

01:22.510 --> 01:24.840
the European Union across the board.

01:24.840 --> 01:26.985
It's crucial that NATO ups its game

01:26.985 --> 01:30.290
to ensure security for
all its member states

01:30.290 --> 01:33.083
and protect stability for our partners.
