Mr Rutte will meet with members of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, the Subcommittee on Security and Defence and the Delegation for Relations with the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

MEPs will also inquire about other regional and global security threats that require close cooperation between the EU and NATO.
