The North Atlantic Treaty Organization leaders’ summit continues on Wednesday in London, APA reports.

Heads of states and military leaders have gathered to observe the 70th anniversary of the formation of the North Atlantic Alliance.

The leaders of the NATO member states are expected to adopt a final communique at the end of the summit that will reflect the bloc’s position on the key issues of the regional and international agenda.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a statement that NATO was rock solid in its commitment to protect its members but that peace could not be taken for granted and so the alliance should discuss emerging threats.

“We are rock solid in our commitment to NATO,” Johnson said at the opening of a NATO summit celebrating the alliance’s 70th birthday.

“History shows that peace cannot be taken for granted and even as we celebrate this anniversary we must ensure our deeds match our words,” Johnson said.
