According to the Executive, the two officials discussed Romania's priorities within NATO and how the Romanian army and defense industry are adapting to the technological transformations necessary to face security challenges.
During the meeting, the Prime Minister emphasized that Romania's objective is to strengthen the deterrence Alliance's position and a solid long-term defense policy, and the efforts to modernize the army and relaunch the national defense industry support this direction.
“Romania supports the Eastern Sentinel project, aimed at ensuring increased vigilance and strengthening the role of deterrence and the defense capacity of the Eastern Flank, and will contribute to its implementation“, says the Government.
During the meeting, aspects related to how industrial cooperation between the allies can be intensified and ensure the transfer of up-to-date technological solutions to support efforts to modernize capabilities were also addressed.
