Defence on MP’s agenda for Nato visit

-

LLANELLI MP Nia Griffith recently visited Nato headquarte­rs in her role as Labour’s Shadow Defence Secretary.

Ms Griffith explained: “In an uncertain world, it is all the more important that we stand together with our allies, and work through organisati­ons like Nato and the UN to achieve a more peaceful and secure world.”

“It was a privilege to visit Nato headquarte­rs last month along with my colleague Emily Thornberry MP, the Shadow Foreign Secretary. Emily and I met the Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, a post held by a British Army officer, as well as the UK ambassador to Nato and a number of Nato officials.

“We discussed important issues like how we can work with our fellow Nato countries to pool resources so that we can defend the UK and our allies more effectivel­y. We focussed particular­ly on how to combat new and emerging means of attack, such as cyber, which are becoming ever more easily and cheaply accessible, not just to states but also to terrorist groups.”
