In a statement issued ahead of meetings focused on the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), which he is scheduled to attend this week at the United Nations headquarters in New York, he said: "As long as nuclear threats persist against us and our partners, we will need a credible deterrent."
He explained that the conference will seek new ways to protect the treaty's achievements and focus on nuclear disarmament.
Last month, France and Germany announced plans to strengthen cooperation in nuclear deterrence, marking a significant shift in defense policy as Europe faces increasing threats from Russia and instability linked to the war in Iran.
