Agenda

Poland

Polish president Andrzej Duda announced in August 2015 that NATO bases in Central Europe were a priority for the Warsaw Summit, and wanted for Poland to be included in the Normandy Format talks. Members of NATO on its eastern flank, who in November 2015 convened into a group called the Bucharest Nine, felt threatened by a revanchist Russia, and he said he will raise the issue with Angela Merkel, who had "previously blocked efforts to place NATO troops in central and eastern Europe, saying it might strain relations with Russia."[5]

Outcomes

Future summits

Normally NATO summits take place every two years, but after the Warsaw summit it was announced that the next alliance summit (27th) would take place in 2017 in Brussels to inaugurate the new €1 billion NATO headquarters building.[13]

The next major summit (27th) took place in Brussels in 2017.[14]
