NATO chief says allies discussing 'next steps' to keep Arctic safe
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said Monday that allied nations are discussing "next steps" to ensure security in the Arctic, citing a risk that Russia and China could be “more active” in the strategically important region.
"All allies agree on the importance of the Arctic and Arctic security, because we know that with sea lanes opening up, there is a risk that the Russians and the Chinese will be more active. And as you know, there are eight Arctic countries, " Rutte told reporters at a joint press conference with Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic in Zagreb.
