Foreign Policy Talks is pleased to invite you to a special dialogue, “Countdown to the NATO Ankara Summit: A Reshaping Moment.”
As preparations for the NATO Ankara Summit 2026 gather momentum, critical questions surrounding alliance cohesion, collective defense, regional stability, burden sharing, and the future of transatlantic security are taking center stage.

Against the backdrop of Türkiye’s strategic position at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East, and the Black Sea region, the Ankara Summit is anticipated to address key issues ranging from deterrence and defense modernization to regional conflicts, technological innovation, and the evolving Euro Atlantic security architecture.
