The NATO Washington Summit Declaration is a statement approved by all 32 member states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) that was issued on 10 July 2024 by the national leaders that participated in the NATO 2024 Washington summit in Washington, D.C., in the United States.[1] The declaration made frequent references to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, specifically dedicating six paragraphs assuring assistance to Ukraine for defense and security against Russia's impact on European stability. The Declaration was notable for its overt use of strong language condemning China's support of Russia during its invasion, referring to it as a "decisive enabler" of Russia's war crimes and breaches of international law by strengthening their mutual economic trade and political partnership.[2] It also included several means of support and coordination with different NATO facilities and initiatives to promote Ukraine's security on its "irreversible path" to integration with European and Western nations, including eventual NATO accession.[3]
