Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment his Department has made of progress on the implementation of decisions taken at the Warsaw NATO Summit in July 2016.

There has been good progress on the areas agreed at the Warsaw Summit including: Operation SEA GUARDIAN went live on 9 November, allowing NATO ships to conduct surveillance activities, counter-terrorism and capacity building of regional navies in the Mediterranean; long-term training and capacity building of Iraqi Armed Forces inside Iraq from January 2017; and the deployment of an Enhanced Forward Presence of four multinational battalions to the east of the Alliance in 2017.

The Prime Minister and the Defence Secretary hosted NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in London on 23 November to discuss and maintain the momentum on this and other important security issues. The Foreign Secretary will attend NATO's meeting of Foreign Ministers in Brussels in December to further discuss work to implement the Warsaw commitments.
