Budapest : Given the complex threats of terrorism, weapons of mass destruction and cyber warfare, NATO's Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow has said the security organisation cannot slow down.
Vershbow, attending the 17th International NATO Conference, Thursday predicted that next year's NATO summit would mark the start of a new chapter in the organisation's life, Xinhua reported.
He said NATO would move forward with joint intelligence operations and missile defences, and has to build a fleet of heavy lift helicopters.
Given the need for the tools to guarantee security, Vershbow pointed to the Smart Defence and Connected Forces Initiatives (CFI).
