Germany to unveil first National Security Strategy FMTNews FMTWorld
Chancellor Olaf Scholz said Germany would start investing more than 2% of economic output on defence.
That idea gained a new urgency following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine which exposed the poor state of the German military, Germany’s over-reliance on Russia for energy and insufficient protection of critical infrastructure such as gas pipelines. Scholz said Germany from now on would invest more than 2% of economic output on defence up from around 1.5% currently, after years of resisting pleas from Nato allies to do so – a pledge expected to be included in the National Security Strategy.
The document is unlikely to go into Germany’s policy on China at length, however, as the government is expected to publish a separate China strategy later this year.
