According to the NATO summit declaration issued on the 25th, leaders of NATO member states agreed on future military spending targets and decided to raise annual defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035. However, there are still differences within NATO on how to achieve the new goals. According to the summit declaration, the 5% military expenditure target is mainly divided into two parts: 3.5% is for core military spending, and 1.5% is for critical infrastructure protection and cybersecurity. NATO member states have also agreed to conduct a mid-term assessment of the implementation of this target in 2029 to ensure that the 5% target is finally achieved by 2035.
