The 75-year story of NATO ’ s success is one of constant adaptation . The world it was built for in 1949 is vastly different from the one we face today . The collapse of the Soviet Union ushered in a new era , and NATO has risen to meet new challenges .
The NATO website described the purpose and founding of NATO asserting that “ real peace is more than an absence of war . [ NATO nations ] seek to promote political and economic stability in the North Atlantic area .”
the defence of freedom is not the work of a day or year , it is the calling of our lifetime .
President of the United States , Joe Biden
As NATO celebrates its 75th Anniversary , the Alliance looks towards the future with confidence . The challenges are real , but so is NATO ’ s commitment to collective defence .
