A resolution celebrating the 2023 NATO Summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, and expressing priorities related to transatlantic security and the NATO Strategic Concept.
SRES 251 is a ceremonial Senate resolution celebrating the 2023 NATO Summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, and expressing support for NATO priorities. It reaffirms NATO's role in global security, highlights the Baltic States' contributions to Ukraine and Alliance operations, and urges Hungary and Türkiye to ratify Sweden's NATO membership. The resolution also emphasizes supporting Ukraine's sovereignty, operationalizing NATO's 2022 Strategic Concept (including addressing China's role), and encourages 2% defense spending commitments. As a non-binding resolution, it directly affects no individuals or entities but symbolically advances U.S. diplomatic priorities within NATO. (SRES 251, introduced June 14, 2023)
