The CNPIC welcomes the visit of the NATO Resilience Committee as part of the Resilience Committee Away Day 2025.

On December 10 and 11, the Resilience Committee Away Day 2025 – NATO was held, a high-level meeting that brought together representatives from allied countries with the aim of strengthening cooperation on resilience and civil preparedness. As part of this event, several visits were made to strategic official centers, including a visit to the facilities of the Ministry of the Interior's Security Technology Center (CETSE).

The visit was attended by the Secretary of State for Security, Ms. Aina Calvo Sastre, who underscored Spain's commitment to the Alliance and to a safer and more resilient society, as well as by senior representatives of the NATO Resilience Committee.

During the visit, the Director of the National Center for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CNPIC) gave an institutional presentation in which he outlined the main functions and capabilities of the Center, as well as its role in prevention, preparedness, and response to threats that may affect essential services. The presentation focused in particular on the new CER Directive, addressing the objectives of this European regulation, the expectations arising from its implementation, and the process of transposing it into Spanish law.

The NATO Resilience Committee is the Alliance's main advisory body on resilience and civil preparedness. Its work focuses on ensuring that member countries maintain the capacity to withstand, adapt to, and recover from military and non-military threats, such as natural disasters, critical infrastructure disruptions, cyber threats, or hybrid attacks.

Resilience is a fundamental pillar of collective security, and is both a national responsibility and a shared commitment among allies, as stated in Article 3 of the North Atlantic Treaty. This meeting and the visit to CETSE reinforce Spain's commitment to NATO in strengthening resilience and protecting citizens from current and future challenges.
