Quoted by the local newspaper Metro, the minister said that the organizers of the traffic disruptions had considered some 40 different options for disrupting the meeting.

Among them, according to Van Will, were actions by terrorists, activists, cyber-attacks and even attacks by government agencies.

However, the Dutch minister assured the guests that today they were in one of the safest cities in the world.

The main thing is that we are now trying to ensure that the power lines are repaired and that the traffic works, because during the summit, when we close the roads, people rely much more on public transport.

From today until tomorrow, the NATO summit is taking place in The Hague.

According to media reports, the allies will focus mainly on addressing NATO defense spending.

On Monday, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced that the alliance will review its goal of investing five percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in defense by 2029 and possibly increase it.
