Meloni Arrives at NATO Summit in Ankara With Tajani as Italy Faces Defence Spending Pressure

Описание: Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni arrived at the 2026 NATO Summit in Ankara, Türkiye, alongside Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, as Allied leaders gathered for high-stakes talks on Ukraine, Russia, defence spending and NATO’s future.

Italy arrived at the Summit under growing pressure to increase defence investment and contribute more to Europe’s security, as NATO pushes Allies toward higher spending targets and stronger military readiness.

The Ankara Summit focused on turning promises into action: more defence production, more support for Ukraine, stronger deterrence against Russia and a more capable European pillar inside NATO.

For Meloni and Tajani, the message from Ankara was clear: Italy remains central to NATO diplomacy, but all Allies are being asked to do more — spend more, produce more and deliver more for collective defence.
