Nato summit marking 75 years of the military alliance set to open in Washington DC
THE Nato military alliance begins a three-day summit in Washington DC tomorrow.
Nato’s ranks have grown from its original 12 nations that signed the Washington Treaty 75 years ago — to 32 countries after Sweden joined this year.
Article 5 of the treaty is a political commitment by all member countries to come to the aid of any member whose sovereignty or territory might be under attack.
