German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated that the foundations of the “NATO 3.0” vision were laid in The Hague last year, explaining that they aim for Europe to take on a greater role within the alliance and to establish a new burden-sharing arrangement in line with Germany’s economic and military potential.

Emphasizing Germany’s increasing responsibility within the alliance and the goals of a new financial and military structure, Wadephul said, “Germany is assuming leadership responsibility within NATO. Our goal is to create a new burden-sharing arrangement within the NATO alliance that reflects the economic and military potential of Germany and Europe.”
