<p>Mr Stoltenberg said that Nato leaders are meeting on Monday “at a pivotal moment for our alliance, and today we’ll open a new chapter in our trans-Atlantic relationship”.</p>
<p>His remarks in Brussels came before he chaired a first Nato summit involving US President Joe Biden.</p>
<p>Nato faced turmoil for four years under former president Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Many allies are hoping to secure Mr Biden’s assurances that the United States will stand by them in times of conflict.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Looking forward to welcoming all 30 leaders to our <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NATOSummit?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NATOSummit</a> at this pivotal moment. We will agree the ambitious <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NATO2030?src=hash&;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NATO2030</a> agenda to chart the course over the next decade &; beyond. In an age of global competition, we stand strong together as a transatlantic family. <a href="https://t.co/vKFT6RRoLm">pic.twitter.com/vKFT6RRoLm</a></p>

<p>Mr Stoltenberg said the leaders also want to reaffirm Nato’s “dual-track approach” to Russia involving military deterrence, like the deployment of alliance troops in the Baltic countries and Poland, and dialogue.</p>
<p>After a series of meetings in Brussels, including with EU leaders, Mr Biden heads to Geneva for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Mr Stoltenberg played down the level of tensions with China, but he says Nato should take a firmer approach toward Beijing.</p>
<p>He says that “we are not entering a new Cold War, and China is not our adversary, not our enemy.</p>
<p>“But we need to address together as an alliance the challenges that the rise of China poses to our security.”</p>
