Speaking to Anadolu on the sidelines of the NATO Defense Industry Forum (NSDIF26), Gunnarsdottir said she was pleased to return to Türkiye and highlighted the "huge opportunities" for trilateral cooperation between Iceland, Türkiye and other alliance partners. "We need now more innovation. And, of course, we need also Türkiye very much," she said, adding that "Türkiye is exemplary" when it comes to the defense industry and its growing capabilities.

Summit goals for unity and Ukraine

Gunnarsdottir expressed optimism about the summit's outcome, stating she hopes to see a "more united NATO, a stronger NATO, a stronger Europe in NATO." She also expects the gathering to demonstrate "strong and decisive support" for Ukraine, reflecting the alliance's commitment to regional stability amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, according to Anadolu.
