中新网北京3月14日电 综合外媒消息：丹麦政府当地时间13日宣布，计划在5年内将国防预算提高405亿丹麦克朗(约合59亿美元)，以满足北约军费要求。
丹麦首相梅特·弗雷德里克森在新闻发布会上表示，这一增额将使丹麦能够更好地履行其对北约的承诺，并确保国家的安全和防御能力。根据北约的指导方针，成员国应该将其国内生产总值的2%用于国防。丹麦目前的国防开支略低于这一目标。
弗雷德里克森强调，增加的国防预算将用于多个领域，包括现代化军事装备、提升军队能力以及加强网络安全防御。她还提到，这将有助于丹麦应对不断变化的安全环境，特别是在俄罗斯与乌克兰冲突的背景下。
此次预算增加是丹麦政府对国家安全战略进行全面审查的结果。审查报告指出，丹麦在未来可能面临更多的安全挑战，需要相应的资源来应对。
此外，丹麦国防部长克莉丝汀·盖尔表示，增额的资金将用于投资新的军事技术，如无人机和电子战能力，以及改善丹麦在北欧和波罗的海地区的存在。
丹麦的这一举措是在北约各成员国努力提高其国防开支的背景下进行的。随着国际安全形势的变化，北约国家普遍意识到了增强军事实力的必要性。
丹麦政府的这项决定预计将在国内和国际上都引起关注，尤其是在即将举行的北约峰会上，各成员国将讨论如何进一步加强联盟的防御能力。

COPENHAGEN, March 14 (Xinhua) — The Danish government has announced plans to raise its defense budget by 40.5 billion Danish kroner (about 5.9 billion U.S. dollars) over the next five years to meet NATO’s defense spending goals, according to media reports.
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said at a press conference that the increase will allow Denmark to better fulfill its commitments to NATO and ensure the country’s security and defense capabilities. Currently, Denmark’s defense spending is slightly below the NATO guideline that member states should spend 2 percent of their gross domestic product on defense.
Frederiksen emphasized that the additional funds will be used in various areas, including modernizing military equipment, enhancing military capabilities, and strengthening cybersecurity defenses. She also mentioned that this will help Denmark address the changing security environment, especially in light of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
The budget increase is the result of a comprehensive review of Denmark’s national security strategy. The review report points out that Denmark may face more security challenges in the future and will require corresponding resources to address them.
Moreover, Danish Defense Minister Trine Bramsen said the additional funds will be invested in new military technologies such as drones and electronic warfare capabilities, as well as improving Denmark’s presence in northern Europe and the Baltic Sea region.
Denmark’s move is expected to draw attention both domestically and internationally, particularly ahead of the upcoming NATO summit, where member countries will discuss how to further strengthen the alliance’s defense capabilities.
