NATO
On Thursday (5 November 2026), NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte welcomed Dr Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, for a discussion with Allies in the North Atlantic Council.
The Secretary General highlighted the importance of energy security and that operational energy supplies are needed to deter and defend. He called for stronger cooperation between Allied defence and energy stakeholders, including the private sector.
Mr Rutte said that without fuel, we cannot move; without power, we cannot build our technological edge; without reliable supply chains, we cannot ramp up our defence industrial production; and without secure infrastructure, there is no energy at all.
