Biden added that the bloc was "stronger, more united and purposeful than it has ever been.
"
"I look forward to continuing the work with Secretary General Stoltenberg to further strengthen the Alliance next week at the NATO Summit in Vilnius, and ahead of the 75th Anniversary NATO Summit in Washington, D.C. next year," the president added.
