Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg participated in the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday (16 January 2024), underlining the importance of continued support to Ukraine.

While acknowledging that the battlefield situation is “extremely difficult”, with the Russians “now pushing on many frontlines”, Mr Stoltenberg underlined that “there is also cause for optimism”. He pointed to Ukraine’s impressive achievements in liberating territory; opening a corridor for grain export in the Black Sea; and overall its survival as a sovereign, independent nation. Conversely, he said that “Russia has lost what they wanted to achieve with the war, and that was to control Ukraine”; Ukrainians are now firmly oriented to the West, aspiring for membership in NATO and the European Union. The Secretary General also stressed that “support for Ukraine is not charity; it’s an investment in our own security”. Pointing to the increasingly global nature of security, Mr Stoltenberg noted that close NATO partners Japan and South Korea are also concerned about Russia’s war against Ukraine, as a victory for President Putin would increase the likelihood of Beijing using force elsewhere. 

The Secretary General spoke at a panel on “Securing an Insecure World” alongside Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Tuggar, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, and US Senator Chris Coons. The discussion was moderated by the President of the World Economic Forum, Børge Brende.

Earlier in the day, the Secretary General participated in a dialogue between political leaders, CEOs and other officials to discuss the role of the global private and public sectors in Ukraine’s long-term reconstruction, alongside President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

While in Davos, the Secretary General will also address a closed-door session of the International Business Council. He is also holding meetings with a number of world leaders, including President Zelenskyy, Polish President Andrzei Duda, Swiss President Viola Amherd, and Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani.

北約秘書長延斯·斯托爾滕貝格於 2024 年 1 月 16 日星期二在瑞士達沃斯舉行的世界經濟論壇年會上的小組討論中發表講話。

秘書長延斯·斯托爾滕貝格週二(2024 年 1 月 16 日)參加了在瑞士達沃斯舉行的世界經濟論壇年會,強調了繼續支持烏克蘭的重要性。

斯托爾滕貝格承認戰場局勢“極其困難”,俄羅斯人“正在向許多前線推進”,但他強調“我們也有理由感到樂觀”。 他指出烏克蘭在解放領土方面取得了令人印象深刻的成就; 開闢黑海糧食出口走廊; 以及它作為一個主權獨立國家的整體生存。 相反,他說「俄羅斯已經失去了他們想要透過戰爭實現的目標,那就是控制烏克蘭」; 烏克蘭人現在堅定地面向西方,渴望加入北約和歐盟。 秘書長也強調,「對烏克蘭的支持不是慈善;而是對烏克蘭的支持」。 這是對我們自身安全的投資」。 斯托爾滕貝格指出,安全日益全球化,北約親密夥伴日本和韓國也對俄羅斯對烏克蘭的戰爭感到擔憂,因為普丁總統的勝利將增加北京在其他地方使用武力的可能性。

秘書長與芬蘭外交部長埃琳娜·瓦爾托寧、德國外交部長安娜萊娜·貝爾博克、尼日利亞外交部長優素福·圖加爾、沙特外交部長費薩爾·本·法爾漢·沙特親王和美國參議員克里斯·庫恩斯一起在“確保不安全世界的安全”小組上發表講話。 討論由世界經濟論壇主席博爾格·布倫德主持。

當天早些時候,秘書長與總統弗拉基米爾·澤倫斯基和歐盟委員會主席烏蘇拉·馮德萊恩一起參加了政治領導人、首席執行官和其他官員之間的對話,討論全球私營和公共部門在烏克蘭長期重建中所扮演的角色。

在達沃斯期間,秘書長也將在國際商業理事會閉門會議上發表演說。 他也會見多位世界領導人,包括澤連斯基總統、波蘭總統安傑伊·杜達、瑞士總統維奧拉·阿姆赫德和伊拉克總理穆罕默德·希亞·蘇達尼。
