Summary
July 17 at 10 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Turkey Program will hold a forum on the latest NATO summit, the alliance’s next phase and US-Turkish defense relations.
The discussion will focus on summit pledges covering mineral and energy resilience, cybersecurity and space, alongside progress on existing NATO commitments and alliance unity.
US-Turkey ties are a central theme after years of friction, with renewed engagement tied to shifts in Syria and the Caucasus, Turkey’s growing defense industry and deeper security and energy links with Europe.
Two panel sessions will feature Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Levent Gümrükçü, former NATO commander Wesley K. Clark and other policy experts, alongside the launch of a special NATO summit issue of the Defense Journal.
