Belgium will invest an extra €4 billion in military programmes to hit NATO's 2% of GDP spending target for the first time this year, Defence Minister Theo Francken has said.
“This extra money will mainly go to ammunition purchases,” Francken said, explaining that NATO stipulates that each country should have a 30-day supply.
