BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 14. Europe urgently
needs a new security strategy, European Commission President Ursula
von der Leyen said at the Munich Security Conference, Trend reports.
“I believe we must urgently recalibrate the way we use our
entire policy toolbox - trade, finance, standards, data, critical
infrastructure, technology platforms, and information. In essence,
each and every one of our policies must have a clear security
dimension in this new world order,” she said.
Von der Leyen stressed that Europe should be ready and willing
to use its strengths more assertively and proactively in order to
protect its security interests.
“We need a new doctrine with a simple goal: to ensure that
Europe can defend its own territory, economy, democracy, and way of
life at all times,” the European Commission president added.
