The NATO Summit is taking place in Ankara on July 7 and 8, 2026, with leaders from member states participating in discussions primarily focused on defense spending, support for Ukraine, and geopolitical developments. During this summit, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is hosting a dinner for the NATO leaders, attended by notable figures including Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Mitsotakis arrived in Ankara on the evening of July 7, accompanied by his wife, where he received a warm welcome from Erdoğan at the White Palace. The Greek Prime Minister's participation is significant, although it has been reported that there are no formal plans for a one-on-one meeting between Mitsotakis and Erdoğan during the summit. The discussions among NATO leaders are expected to revolve around enhancing defensive commitments, with an emphasis on a target of 5% of GDP in defense spending by 2035.
