In Tokyo for #NATOpa. First briefings underway at the Norwegian Embassy. Getting the Japanese perspective on regional security threats is crucial for understanding the impact on Europe and the global economy.

Message to all Allies: The “slow-motion” defense procurement model is dead. The next threat is built in a garage, not a billion-dollar factory. Stop building tanks — start funding #AI and counter-drone lasers.🔬
Back from a very productive few days as the 🇬🇧 UK delegate in Madrid and Melilla 🇪🇦 with NATO PA colleagues. Discussing migration at Europe's southern border, security & humanitarian responsibilites. #NATOPA
