Romania is hosting, in the coming days, the first high-level event of the North Atlantic Alliance in a state on the Eastern Flank, on the front line of NATO’s defense, after the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, according to Agerpres.

„The fact that Bucharest was chosen as a place of Ministerial has multiple meanings. And I am glad that in the coming days”, ‘all eyes’ will be on Bucharest, because, in reality, for a few days, the most important topics for regional, European and Euro-Atlantic security will be debated here. It is a clear signal that Romania, in this part of the world, counts, both at NATO and EU level, as well as at international level in general,” the Foreign Affairs minister Bogdan Aurescu told an interview with Agerpres, released last Saturday.

The Romanian chief diplomat highlighted that „for Romania, the moment also has a special symbolic load, given that this year marks 20 years since our country received the invitation to join NATO at the Prague Summit on November 21-22, 2002, which will be marked on the sidelines of the meeting”.
