The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has told NATO leaders they have an opportunity to strengthen the unity of purpose that's made NATO the most successful alliance in history. Mr. Johnson was speaking as he formally opened NATO's 70th anniversary gathering near London.

The fact that we live in peace today, demonstrates the power of the simple proposition at the heart of this alliance: that for as long as we stand together, no-one can hope to defeat us and therefore, no-one will start a war.

Mr. Johnson said that friends and allies must never shy away from discussing new realities. He highlighted the emerging threat from hybrid warfare and disruptive technologies.
