00:50.680 --> 00:51.880 Thank you very much. 00:51.880 --> 00:55.116 - NATO Allies have, for several years now, 00:55.116 --> 00:59.210 provided Turkey with what we call assurance measures, 00:59.210 --> 01:04.210 different kinds of support, more naval presence, 01:05.470 --> 01:08.043 port visits, presence on land, 01:11.700 --> 01:16.700 and also augmented Turkish air defenses. 01:17.770 --> 01:20.660 This has been done by rotation between Allies, 01:20.660 --> 01:22.797 so different Allies have provided different 01:22.797 --> 01:27.797 capabilities over several years, back to 2013, 2014. 01:32.851 --> 01:37.260 So, the Italian decision is something they made this spring, 01:37.260 --> 01:40.510 is as a result of the fact that they 01:40.510 --> 01:42.373 have been there for a long time. 01:43.561 --> 01:45.050 And it's a decision which has 01:45.050 --> 01:47.060 been taken several months ago, 01:47.060 --> 01:48.670 as part of the fact that they 01:48.670 --> 01:50.220 have been there for a long time 01:50.220 --> 01:53.513 and their mandate is ending by the end of the year. 01:55.280 --> 01:57.890 Spain provides Patriot batteries. 01:57.890 --> 02:01.883 Italy has provided SAMP/T batteries. 02:04.360 --> 02:08.130 I expect that any extension of the Spanish presence 02:08.130 --> 02:10.427 will be taken in consultation with Allies, 02:10.427 --> 02:15.427 and this is part of the normal rotation of Allies 02:15.850 --> 02:18.760 providing different kinds of assurance measures 02:18.760 --> 02:22.213 and augmentation of the Turkish air defenses. 02:23.793 --> 02:25.733 - [Oana] Okay, we'll go to Salam Watandar. 02:27.490 --> 02:28.530 - Thank you. 02:28.530 --> 02:31.870 Yesterday, you mentioned that this ministerial will 02:31.870 --> 02:36.373 set grounds for the summit on recommitment on Afghanistan. 02:37.620 --> 02:39.970 Will there be any changes to the scope and scale 02:39.970 --> 02:42.269 of NATO's commitment to Afghanistan, 02:42.269 --> 02:45.760 with a potential peace deal with the Taliban on the horizon? 02:45.760 --> 02:47.970 - So, what we have seen is that NATO Allies 02:47.970 --> 02:51.770 and partners are committed to our mission in Afghanistan. 02:51.770 --> 02:53.370 And in one way, that's quite impressive, 02:53.370 --> 02:55.100 that after 18 years, 02:55.100 --> 02:58.040 29 Allies and many partners 02:58.040 --> 03:01.020 stay committed to the train, assist, 03:01.020 --> 03:04.200 and advise mission in Afghanistan. 03:04.200 --> 03:08.330 We do so because we stand in solidarity with Afghanistan, 03:08.330 --> 03:10.230 with the people of Afghanistan, 03:10.230 --> 03:12.520 but also because it is in our interest 03:12.520 --> 03:15.370 to make sure that Afghanistan doesn't become, 03:15.370 --> 03:17.670 once again, a platform, a country, 03:17.670 --> 03:20.250 where international terrorist groups can train, prepare, 03:20.250 --> 03:23.020 plan, terrorist attacks on our own countries. 03:23.020 --> 03:25.753 So, we are in Afghanistan to protect ourselves, 03:25.753 --> 03:28.495 to make sure that we don't see anything similar 03:28.495 --> 03:33.495 to what happened back 9/11 against the United States. 03:35.240 --> 03:36.950 And that's the reason why we are committed. 03:36.950 --> 03:40.049 And that's the reason why heads of state reconfirmed 03:40.049 --> 03:45.049 that commitment at the summit last year. 03:45.160 --> 03:45.993 Why? 03:45.993 --> 03:47.720 Actually, all Allies and partners 03:47.720 --> 03:50.290 did that today in the meeting. 03:50.290 --> 03:52.270 And not only did they say that they are committed, 03:52.270 --> 03:55.190 but Allies and partners, committed forces, 03:55.190 --> 03:59.870 troops, trainers, advisers to the Afghan security forces 03:59.870 --> 04:03.127 to help them fight international terrorism, 04:03.127 --> 04:08.127 fight Taliban and to stabilize their own country. 04:10.080 --> 04:12.010 Having said all that, of course, 04:12.010 --> 04:15.220 we have constantly adjusted the size 04:15.220 --> 04:19.500 and the exact numbers of troops we have in Afghanistan. 04:19.500 --> 04:22.520 And that's part of the constant work 04:22.520 --> 04:25.490 we have to do to optimize the mission. 04:25.490 --> 04:27.980 And we will continue to do that. 04:27.980 --> 04:32.180 Also to make sure that we have a sustainable mission. 04:32.180 --> 04:35.691 So, numbers may go a bit up and a bit down, 04:35.691 --> 04:37.279 as they have done before, 04:37.279 --> 04:39.256 but there is a very strong commitment 04:39.256 --> 04:42.077 across the Alliance and from partners 04:42.077 --> 04:45.587 to continue to support Afghanistan, 04:45.587 --> 04:47.790 because we also strongly believe 04:47.790 --> 04:50.789 that the only way to reach a credible peace deal 04:50.789 --> 04:53.591 is to send a very clear message to Taliban 04:53.591 --> 04:56.400 that they will not win on the battlefield. 04:56.400 --> 04:58.943 They have to sit down and not only talk, 04:58.943 --> 05:01.400 but actually make real compromises 05:01.400 --> 05:04.133 for a real and credible peace deal. 05:05.824 --> 05:07.407 - [Oana] Okay, 1TV. 05:09.270 --> 05:12.090 - Thank you so much, Mr. Secretary General. 05:12.090 --> 05:14.260 I am Hamid from 1TV. 05:14.260 --> 05:16.570 How might that ISIS is trading in Afghanistan, 05:16.570 --> 05:18.280 it is serious, because yesterday 05:18.280 --> 05:19.870 you also mentioned about that 05:19.870 --> 05:22.037 that NATO will not let Daesh 05:22.037 --> 05:24.280 to become power in Afghanistan and take safe havens. 05:24.280 --> 05:27.430 And how serious in Afghanistan after the peace process, 05:27.430 --> 05:29.100 when the NATO and U.S. and Afghan 05:29.100 --> 05:30.900 reach an agreement with the Taliban? 05:32.515 --> 05:35.097 - If I understood your question right, 05:35.097 --> 05:37.230 it was about ISIS in Afghanistan? 05:37.230 --> 05:38.163 Yeah, yeah. 05:39.347 --> 05:44.314 No, that just underpins or underscores 05:44.314 --> 05:47.793 the importance of the NATO mission in Afghanistan. 05:48.850 --> 05:51.276 Because we have successfully been 05:51.276 --> 05:56.063 able to fight and defeat Daesh, 05:57.290 --> 06:00.493 or the physical caliphate, in Iraq and Syria. 06:02.156 --> 06:03.750 And of course, we don't want that caliphate 06:03.750 --> 06:08.270 to be re-established in Afghanistan. 06:08.270 --> 06:10.580 We see that ISIS is really trying 06:10.580 --> 06:12.791 to get a foothold in Afghanistan. 06:12.791 --> 06:15.410 They have been responsible for some horrendous attacks 06:15.410 --> 06:17.983 and violence against civilians in Afghanistan. 06:18.970 --> 06:20.522 And of course, we don't want them 06:20.522 --> 06:24.900 to really get a platform in Afghanistan. 06:24.900 --> 06:26.890 So, that just adds to the reason why 06:26.890 --> 06:28.840 it is important that we continue 06:28.840 --> 06:33.130 and why we are committed to our mission in Afghanistan, 06:33.130 --> 06:35.875 to help the Afghan security forces 06:35.875 --> 06:38.907 fight ISIS in Afghanistan 06:38.907 --> 06:40.210 and make sure they don't 06:40.210 --> 06:45.050 establish a caliphate in Afghanistan. 06:45.050 --> 06:45.883 - [Oana] TOLO?

06:57.380 --> 06:58.810 About two months ago, 06:58.810 --> 07:03.540 U.S. upheld about $160 million to Afghan government. 07:03.540 --> 07:05.760 And also, there are serious allegation 07:05.760 --> 07:08.740 against the President Ghani's team, 07:08.740 --> 07:13.040 they have misused some funds received 07:13.040 --> 07:15.770 from world community in the election campaign. 07:15.770 --> 07:19.123 How much is this of a problem, a serious? 07:21.541 --> 07:24.912 - Corruption is a serious problem in Afghanistan. 07:24.912 --> 07:25.745 And that's also the reason why we 07:25.745 --> 07:28.290 have raised that issue again and again. 07:28.290 --> 07:33.290 And also why we are providing support to Afghanistan, 07:33.430 --> 07:35.710 partly by providing trainers, 07:35.710 --> 07:38.030 and we have made a lot of progress 07:38.030 --> 07:41.193 in building the Afghan army and security forces. 07:41.193 --> 07:42.824 We have to remember that not so long ago, 07:42.824 --> 07:46.830 NATO had over 140,000 combat troops 07:46.830 --> 07:49.120 in the combat operation in Afghanistan. 07:49.120 --> 07:53.460 Now we have roughly 16,000 in the train, 07:53.460 --> 07:55.260 assist, and advise mission, 07:55.260 --> 07:56.750 and it's the Afghan forces who 07:56.750 --> 07:59.320 are now responsible for security in their own country. 07:59.320 --> 08:01.020 So, we have made a lot of progress 08:01.020 --> 08:03.700 in modernizing, training, helping the Afghans 08:03.700 --> 08:06.690 to take responsibility for their own country. 08:06.690 --> 08:08.250 So, we provide support with trainers, 08:08.250 --> 08:10.406 but we also provide support with funding. 08:10.406 --> 08:12.050 And of course, therefore, 08:12.050 --> 08:15.260 it's extremely important to fight corruption. 08:15.260 --> 08:19.213 And we do that, partly by always insisting on transparency, 08:19.213 --> 08:23.320 by making sure that we always do whatever we can 08:23.320 --> 08:26.380 to make sure that the money and the funding is really 08:26.380 --> 08:30.470 allocated to the purposes they're meant to finance, 08:30.470 --> 08:32.380 and also by working together, for instance, 08:32.380 --> 08:35.756 with the World Bank and other international institutions, 08:35.756 --> 08:38.310 they also participated in the meeting today, 08:38.310 --> 08:41.163 to make sure that we do this in the best possible way 08:41.163 --> 08:45.930 in a country which struggles with corruption. 08:45.930 --> 08:50.070 We also work with Afghanistan to modernize 08:50.070 --> 08:51.796 the defense and security institutions. 08:51.796 --> 08:53.730 And of course, by doing that, 08:53.730 --> 08:55.240 we also helped to establish 08:55.240 --> 09:00.240 procedures, mechanisms, to fight corruption. 09:01.733 --> 09:03.283 - [Oana] Okay, Guardian please. 09:05.720 --> 09:07.700 - Hi, I'm Dan Sabbagh from The Guardian. 09:07.700 --> 09:09.990 You referred earlier in your remarks, 09:09.990 --> 09:11.690 you're welcoming the German proposal, 09:11.690 --> 09:13.780 the initiative for, perhaps, 09:13.780 --> 09:16.888 an international deployment of some sort in Syria. 09:16.888 --> 09:19.320 Is there enough detail on that, do you think, 09:19.320 --> 09:21.280 for that to be sort of practical? 09:21.280 --> 09:23.390 I don't know, you were in the discussion, 09:23.390 --> 09:26.363 do you feel that that proposal is going to progress? 09:29.290 --> 09:31.105 - I discussed this proposal with 09:31.105 --> 09:36.105 the German Defense Minister, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, 09:36.620 --> 09:37.980 and she also discussed that 09:37.980 --> 09:41.380 with other Allies during the meeting. 09:41.380 --> 09:46.243 I think we all welcome and I welcome proposals that can 09:46.243 --> 09:51.243 help us make progress on the ground in northern Syria. 09:53.950 --> 09:55.860 And we welcome the fact that we 09:55.860 --> 09:58.640 have seen a decrease in violence. 09:58.640 --> 10:01.120 But we need to build on that to create 10:01.120 --> 10:05.502 a more lasting and sustainable solution for Syria 10:05.502 --> 10:09.370 and the northeast of Syria. 10:09.370 --> 10:10.977 And therefore, I welcome her proposal 10:10.977 --> 10:12.240 to look into possibilities 10:12.240 --> 10:14.320 of an international safe zone 10:14.320 --> 10:18.640 and also for increased international engagement. 10:18.640 --> 10:20.170 Then it still remains some works 10:20.170 --> 10:24.284 to be done on the many different details, and of course, 10:24.284 --> 10:28.720 to garner or to collect the necessary political support. 10:28.720 --> 10:31.150 But again, the present situation 10:31.150 --> 10:33.163 in northern Syria is not sustainable. 10:34.050 --> 10:35.650 And the international community has 10:35.650 --> 10:38.760 a responsibility to try to address all the challenges, 10:38.760 --> 10:40.970 the threats we see in northern Syria. 10:40.970 --> 10:43.110 And therefore, I welcome initiatives and ideas 10:43.110 --> 10:45.660 on how we can do that in a coordinated way 10:45.660 --> 10:47.990 as an international community. 10:47.990 --> 10:50.057 - [Oana] Washington Post, at the back. 10:53.348 --> 10:54.345 - Hi, thank you. 10:54.345 --> 10:55.530 Michael Birnbaum from The Washington Post. 10:55.530 --> 10:57.560 Secretary General, the Pentagon is considering 10:57.560 --> 11:00.930 a plan to send tanks and troops back into Syria 11:00.930 --> 11:02.530 to help secure oil fields 11:02.530 --> 11:04.350 and potentially help the Kurdish forces there. 11:04.350 --> 11:07.280 Would you consider that to be a positive step? 11:07.280 --> 11:10.750 And how would it affect Alliance security interests 11:10.750 --> 11:13.530 for the U.S. to go back and forth 11:13.530 --> 11:15.150 on its Syria strategy in this way? 11:15.150 --> 11:15.983 Thank you. 11:20.160 --> 11:24.070 - NATO is part of the Global Coalition to Defeat Daesh. 11:24.070 --> 11:29.070 We work with our Ally, Turkey, in that operation. 11:29.270 --> 11:32.470 And Turkey has been extremely important in fighting Daesh 11:32.470 --> 11:34.961 and enabling the progress we have made, 11:34.961 --> 11:37.666 defeating, or liberating, 11:37.666 --> 11:42.666 the territory that Daesh controlled, both in Syria and Iraq. 11:44.850 --> 11:46.930 We provide support to the Coalition 11:46.930 --> 11:49.147 also with our AWACS planes 11:49.147 --> 11:54.147 and we are on the ground in Iraq with a training mission. 11:54.990 --> 11:58.350 We are not on the ground in northern Syria. 11:58.350 --> 12:01.470 And therefore, I've always been careful 12:01.470 --> 12:04.176 about commenting exactly on how different Allies 12:04.176 --> 12:08.100 are operating on the ground in northern Syria. 12:08.100 --> 12:11.853 I can just reconfirm that NATO is committed 12:11.853 --> 12:15.840 to fight our common enemy, ISIS. 12:15.840 --> 12:17.830 We will continue to play an active role, 12:17.830 --> 12:20.339 NATO and NATO Allies in the Global Coalition. 12:20.339 --> 12:22.830 We will provide trainers to our training mission 12:22.830 --> 12:25.050 in Iraq as well as Afghanistan, 12:25.050 --> 12:25.950 which is also relevant, 12:25.950 --> 12:27.667 because that's also about fighting ISIS. 12:27.667 --> 12:31.880 And we work for a political solution in northern Syria. 12:31.880 --> 12:36.460 But NATO will not, there has been no call 12:36.460 --> 12:41.460 for a NATO deployment of troops in northern Syria. 12:41.820 --> 12:43.870 And therefore, I will refrain from commenting 12:43.870 --> 12:48.096 on how different NATO Allies, or the United States, 12:48.096 --> 12:53.096 are conducting their activities in northern Syria. 12:53.790 --> 12:55.723 - [Oana] Dagbladet, lady in the back. 12:57.680 --> 12:59.170 - Thank you. 12:59.170 --> 13:02.590 The NATO operation, in Afghanistan, 13:02.590 --> 13:06.610 as well as the NATO-supported operation in Syria, 13:06.610 --> 13:10.350 is about fighting terrorism and projecting stability. 13:10.350 --> 13:13.780 Now the United States have withdrawn the forces from Syria. 13:13.780 --> 13:15.010 Are you worried that the same 13:15.010 --> 13:16.910 thing will happen in Afghanistan, 13:16.910 --> 13:19.807 that the United States will withdraw forces 13:19.807 --> 13:24.313 and leaving the responsibility to the European Allies or 13:24.313 --> 13:29.293 and what will the consequences be if that will be the case? 13:31.100 --> 13:32.687 - The situation in northern Syria 13:32.687 --> 13:37.687 and the situation in Afghanistan are very different, 13:38.000 --> 13:43.000 because there has never been a NATO mandate 13:44.100 --> 13:47.493 or a NATO mission in northern Syria. 13:50.252 --> 13:51.090 But that's a totally different thing 13:51.090 --> 13:53.230 when it comes to Afghanistan, 13:53.230 --> 13:58.230 because we are in Afghanistan as a direct result of 9/11. 13:59.400 --> 14:00.820 We have been there because we 14:00.820 --> 14:04.290 agreed also to invoke Article 5 14:04.290 --> 14:09.290 after the attack on NATO on the United States in 2001. 14:12.507 --> 14:14.610 And we are there as a result 14:14.610 --> 14:17.140 of an attack on the United States. 14:17.140 --> 14:22.140 So, I think to compare the NATO mission in Afghanistan 14:22.152 --> 14:25.939 with the presence of some Allies, but not many, 14:25.939 --> 14:30.939 in northern Syria, that's two totally different things. 14:31.410 --> 14:34.270 And the United States has reiterated 14:34.270 --> 14:35.840 again and again that they stay 14:35.840 --> 14:38.703 committed to the mission in Afghanistan. 14:42.029 --> 14:43.574 But, at the same time, 14:43.574 --> 14:45.730 it was stated by ministers 14:45.730 --> 14:47.249 in this meeting again and again 14:47.249 --> 14:49.968 that we went into Afghanistan together, 14:49.968 --> 14:54.540 we make decisions on our presence there together 14:54.540 --> 14:57.273 and, when the time is right, we will leave together. 14:58.134 --> 15:03.134 We don't want to stay in Afghanistan longer than necessary. 15:03.280 --> 15:05.830 But at the same time, if we leave too early, 15:05.830 --> 15:08.160 the price can be very high, 15:08.160 --> 15:10.753 because then, first of all, it will, 15:12.200 --> 15:15.160 the people of Afghanistan will suffer if we have 15:15.160 --> 15:20.160 a new Taliban, Sharia regime in Afghanistan. 15:20.800 --> 15:22.300 Second, we will suffer, 15:22.300 --> 15:25.208 because it will weaken us in our common 15:25.208 --> 15:27.593 fight against a common enemy, 15:27.593 --> 15:30.310 international terrorism, ISIS. 15:30.310 --> 15:32.990 And, therefore, that's a totally different thing. 15:32.990 --> 15:35.772 We will continue to adjust, to assess, 15:35.772 --> 15:40.772 the mission and make necessary adjustments, 15:42.750 --> 15:44.600 but we are very committed. 15:44.600 --> 15:47.380 And the United States has restated again, 15:47.380 --> 15:48.840 again that they are, of course, 15:48.840 --> 15:50.910 also committed to a mission which was 15:50.910 --> 15:53.890 actually triggered by an attack on the United States. 15:53.890 --> 15:56.093 - [Oana] Deutsche Welle, second row please. 15:59.870 --> 16:00.800 - Thank you very much. 16:00.800 --> 16:02.300 Iurri Sheiko, Deutsche Welle. 16:02.300 --> 16:04.690 Secretary General, you said that ministers today 16:04.690 --> 16:08.230 updated these requirements for their civil preparedness, 16:08.230 --> 16:11.150 for their civil infrastructure in telecommunications. 16:11.150 --> 16:12.810 So, could you please explain 16:12.810 --> 16:17.020 what is new in those baseline requirements? 16:17.020 --> 16:19.982 And the second part to it, 16:19.982 --> 16:23.165 are there any concrete companies 16:23.165 --> 16:26.010 mentioned there like Huawei? 16:26.010 --> 16:27.010 Thank you very much. 16:28.060 --> 16:30.860 - NATO decided a few years ago 16:30.860 --> 16:32.040 to have what we call, 16:32.040 --> 16:35.059 or to step up our effort to make sure 16:35.059 --> 16:40.059 that all Allies are resilient, 16:40.570 --> 16:42.930 because Article 3 of our founding treaty 16:42.930 --> 16:45.100 states clearly that Allies have to be resilient. 16:45.100 --> 16:48.250 It's partly about having the necessary military forces, 16:48.250 --> 16:50.370 but it is also about being resilient 16:50.370 --> 16:53.110 and protecting civilian infrastructure. 16:53.110 --> 16:56.074 Based on that, we developed, some years ago, 16:56.074 --> 16:58.157 baseline requirements, 16:58.157 --> 17:00.590 seven different baseline requirements, 17:00.590 --> 17:03.440 for different kinds of civilian infrastructure, 17:03.440 --> 17:06.510 including energy, transportation and so on. 17:06.510 --> 17:08.150 What we have done today is 17:08.150 --> 17:12.860 to agree revised and updated baseline requirements 17:12.860 --> 17:16.940 for telecommunications, including 5G. 17:16.940 --> 17:18.160 And what is new is that since 17:18.160 --> 17:21.568 that the technological development is moving so fast, 17:21.568 --> 17:26.300 just to update them, these guidelines or requirements, 17:26.300 --> 17:30.640 to reflect that technological change is a major undertaking. 17:30.640 --> 17:32.400 And we have had some of our best experts 17:32.400 --> 17:34.420 working on this for some time. 17:34.420 --> 17:36.730 And based on their advice, their recommendations, 17:36.730 --> 17:39.950 the ministers agreed updated guidelines. 17:39.950 --> 17:44.010 They are quite detailed and quite technical. 17:44.010 --> 17:45.970 But the main message is that, 17:45.970 --> 17:50.474 and the old guidelines didn't address 5G at all. 17:50.474 --> 17:52.977 Because that was in a way before 5G 17:52.977 --> 17:57.560 was so much a part of our modern societies. 17:57.560 --> 17:59.890 Now, 5G is part of this. 17:59.890 --> 18:02.670 And the main message is that all Allies 18:02.670 --> 18:07.670 need to have further risk assessments, 18:08.407 --> 18:13.003 including the necessary mitigation measures, 18:13.003 --> 18:18.003 procedures in place to protect against cyber-attacks 18:18.620 --> 18:22.020 and also assessments of the risks 18:22.020 --> 18:26.390 related to foreign ownership, control, 18:26.390 --> 18:31.390 and many other aspects of potential vulnerabilities 18:31.390 --> 18:33.830 related to telecommunications in general 18:34.667 --> 18:38.340 and 5G networks in particular. 18:38.340 --> 18:40.010 These guidelines are not about 18:40.010 --> 18:44.930 a specific country or a specific company, 18:44.930 --> 18:49.803 but they establish some requirements 18:49.803 --> 18:52.888 which we expect all Allies to meet, 18:52.888 --> 18:55.530 because we are dependent, as a military alliance, 18:55.530 --> 18:58.180 that civilian infrastructure, including 5G, 18:58.180 --> 19:02.763 is working in peace time, in crisis, and in conflict. 19:03.720 --> 19:04.630 - [Oana] Thank you very much. 19:04.630 --> 19:06.263 This concludes his press point. 19:06.263 --> 19:07.360 Thank you. 19:07.360 --> 19:08.193 - Thank you.
