Nato's Industrial Shield: Countering Threats through Critical Minerals and More The recent NATO Summit Defence Industry Forum (NSDIF) in Ankara, Turkey unveiled a series of initiatives aimed at bolstering the alliance's military capabilities against emerging security threats.

NATO faces not only external threats from Russia and China but also internal weaknesses, as emphasized by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
