Organization
editIt was decided at the 2023 Vilnius summit that the Netherlands would be hosting the 2025 edition, marking the first time a NATO summit would take place in the country.[1] The exact date and location, the World Forum in The Hague, were announced by outgoing NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg in May 2024.[2] The last major diplomatic conference held in The Hague was the 2014 Nuclear Security Summit, and the city was chosen over Rotterdam, Apeldoorn, and Maastricht.[3] It was estimated that the event would attract 8,500 attendants, of whom 6,000 delegation members, and would cost €95 million.[3][4]
