Today we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the strongest, most enduring and most successful Alliance in history. The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. NATO. Congratulations! In the years following the Second World War, the fear of yet another devastating war was real. So on this day in 1949, the Foreign Ministers of twelve countries from Europe and North America, came together to sign the Washington Treaty. To create our Alliance. It kept our people safe through the long years of the Cold War. From the Berlin Airlift and the Cuban Missile Crisis to the fall of the Berlin Wall. In 1979, I served in the Norwegian army. If there was a war, we would be on the front line. But I was not afraid. Because I knew we were not alone. We had the might of the NATO Alliance behind us. When the Cold War ended, NATO helped to bring two brutal ethnic conflicts in the Balkans to a close. In 2001, after 9/11 attacks, for the first time, we invoked Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which states that an attack on one Ally is an attack on all. NATO has been on the front line in the fight against terrorism ever since. 2014 and Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea was another turning point. Since then, we have undertaken the biggest reinforcement of our collective defence in generations. Today, NATO is bigger, stronger and more united than ever. In the beginning, we had 12 members. Today we are 32. So we must be doing something right! We have helped to spread peace, democracy and prosperity throughout Europe. And today, we also celebrate important anniversaries for many of our members.
