Speaking to reporters ahead of a NATO meeting in Helsingborg, Sweden, Rutte said the current path is toward building a stronger NATO and a stronger Europe, while gradually reducing reliance on a single ally.
He added that this trend will continue, referring to the efforts of European countries to assume greater responsibilities within the alliance's collective defense system.
