NATO will skip the planned 2027 leaders' summit in Albania and reduce high-level meetings amid tensions over defense spending, Iran and Ukraine.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said the next summit could be held in Tirana in 2028, while NATO chief Mark Ruta said summits would only be held when necessary.
The defense ministers will also skip their meeting in October 2027, and the foreign ministers will meet only once next year instead of twice.
