[DICK SCHOOF]
NATO was founded 75 years ago.

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,880
The Netherlands was one of the first allies
to be involved, in 1949.

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,360
Now, 75 years later,
NATO still proves to be crucial...

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,680
for our security, for our freedom
for our democracy.

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:38,520
NATO is the main insurance policy
the people of the Netherlands have.

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,920
It guarantees our security.

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,480
[VO] We are proud of hosting the NATO summit
in the Netherlands in 2025.

00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,120
[VO] Preparations are already 
in full swing...

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,080
because organising the summit
is a huge operation.

16
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,680
*Music plays* 

17
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,120
[VO] This is why a team went to Washington
to learn from the Americans' experiences...

18
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,760
in terms of logistics, facilities
and security.

19
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,240
[RUBEN] The NATO summit in The Hague
will be a very large gathering.

20
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,400
It requires strict security measures.
The ministry of Defence will help with this.

21
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,720
We will deploy our people
and provide equipment where necessary.

22
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:20,920
*Applause *

23
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,960

See you next year in The Hague.
