NATO chief urges member-nations to boost military production

Bucharest, Nov 6 (UNI) NATO chief Mark Rutte urged members of the multi-state military bloc to boost their military spending and ramp up production of security infrastructure, warning them to be ready for a prolonged standoff with hostile nations such as Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.
He alleged these nations were challenging "global rules," and defying international norms.
Speaking at the bloc's Industry Forum in Bucharest on Thursday, Rutte said that the bloc's rearmament drive has gained increased albeit steady momentum, as arms producers have ramped up their production, adding there was "more cash on the table and even more will flow" for strengthening NATO's military capabilities.
