Reuters– Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Wednesday that all members of the NATO alliance should do their part in terms of defence spending.

“We have consistently exceeded the 2% threshold even during the very difficult times of the economic crisis,” he said ahead of the NATO summit in The Hague.

“So I welcome the decisions might taken by the summit. I hope all member states will do their part because at the end of the day this is an alliance that is based on trust and on fair burden-sharing.”
