Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, stated in a statement that she will propose the establishment of a new security forum that includes leaders from the European Union and like-minded countries. This initiative is deemed necessary due to the increase in hegemonic attacks and the weakening of strong ties across the Atlantic, as well as the need to enhance collective security against new threats.
The necessity of establishing new security cooperation
Considering recent developments on the global stage and the rise of cyber and military threats, von der Leyen emphasized the importance of unity and cooperation among democratic countries. She noted that this forum could serve as a platform to strengthen defense cooperation, share information, and pool resources against common threats.

These countries, due to their geographical position and strategic role in security and defense, possess high capabilities for participation in this initiative. Von der Leyen also highlighted the necessity of establishing common security standards and new regulations in this area, which could help improve global security conditions.
The increase in hegemonic threats, especially in cyber domains, has prompted various countries to seek solutions to maintain their security and information systems. The establishment of this security forum will allow member countries to exchange their experiences and knowledge in this area and contribute to strengthening collective security.
