It was a pleasure to bring high-level officials together for one of @HybridCoE’s highlights of the year, the annual EU-NATO High Level Retreat. Great discussions on countering evolving hybrid threats at a time that could not be more timely. Thank you to all participants!
The Hybrid CoE EU-NATO High Level Retreat was a valuable opportunity to exchange perspectives, deepen dialogue, and explore how we can better deter evolving hybrid threats together.
Thank you for the insightful discussions and continued engagement.
