On June 24 and 25, 2025, The Hague will host the NATO summit, one of the largest diplomatic gatherings ever organized by the Netherlands. The event will take place at the World Forum, with an expected 45 heads of state and government leaders, 45 foreign ministers, 45 defense ministers, and approximately 6,000 delegation members in attendance. In addition, some 2,000 journalists from the Netherlands and abroad are expected to attend.
First time in the Netherlands
This is the first time since NATO was founded in 1949 that the Netherlands has organized a NATO summit. During the NATO summit in Vilnius (Lithuania) in 2023, the Netherlands was asked to host the summit in 2025. This invitation underscores the appreciation for the Netherlands’ contribution to NATO and offers an opportunity to further strengthen its position as a reliable ally.
