US President Joe Biden’s support for the European security strategy will accelerate work on a new NATO concept and strengthen Europe’s strategic independence, French President Emmanuel Macron said at a press conference on Friday before talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, TASS reports.
He noted that during the NATO summit in Brussels, President Biden welcomed the Europeans’ development of their own security mechanism and promised to support this initiative.
“I think we have managed to root the idea that the European security strategy is not an alternative NATO project, but an independent mechanism. Europeans should contribute to common security, especially in relation to their neighbors,” the French leader said.
