The 2025 The Hague summit is an upcoming meeting of the heads of state and heads of government of the thirty-two members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), their partner countries, and the European Union, which will be held in The Hague, Netherlands, on 24–26 June 2025. This will be the first NATO summit to be led by the new NATO Secretary General and former prime minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte since the departure of Jens Stoltenberg of Norway after a decade as NATO Secretary General.

Organization

[edit]

It was decided at the 2023 Vilnius summit that the Netherlands would be hosting the 2025 edition, marking the first time a NATO summit would take place in the country.[1] The exact date and location, the World Forum in The Hague, were announced by outgoing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in May 2024.[2] The last major diplomatic conference held in The Hague was the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit, and the city was chosen over Rotterdam, Apeldoorn, and Maastricht.[3] It was estimated that the event would attract 8,500 attendants, of whom 6,000 delegation members, and would cost €95 million.[3][4]
