Conclusions of the Meeting of the NATO Defence Ministers

The Defence Ministers approached during the working dinner of October 26 the projection of stability beyond the Alliance's borders as a second important working level with a view of implementing the decisions adopted in July in Warsaw. In this respect, the following decisions were adopted: the initiation of the future NATO training and development of the Iraqi defence capabilities (NCTB-1) starting with January 2017, continuing the Alliance's effort in the Aegean Sea and launching a new maritime security operation in the Central Mediterranean Sea (Operation SEA GUARDIAN). This will provide the framework to the allied support for the European Union Operation SOPHIA.
