UK Prime Minister Sunak: Europe Must Take on Greater Security Responsibilities

On February 14th local time, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak delivered a speech at the Munich Security Conference, calling on Europe to accelerate rearmament and take on more defense responsibilities. In his speech, Sunak emphasized that even if Russia and Ukraine reach a peace agreement in the future, the threats facing Europe will not disappear. In light of this trend, Europe can no longer rely on inertia but must “stand on its own feet.” Sunak stated, “But in this era, hard power is currency. We must have deterrence capabilities.” (CCTV News)
