President Iohannis: We have duty to show firmness in defense of peace. Increased American military presence must continue

Published on

President Klaus Iohannis stated that the leaders of the Eastern Flank of NATO have the duty to show firmness in the defense of peace and emphasized that the increased American military presence must continue, according to Agerpres.

”The war has brought nothing but suffering and despair, the killing and displacing of millions of Ukrainians, unprecedented destruction and uncertainty. We, the leaders of the Eastern Flank, have the duty to stand firm in defence of our peace. We must continue to stand firm in delivering on our commitments to support Ukraine, for as long as it needs, to win this war. This is what Romania will continue to do. We are not alone in this endeavour. Our effort is one of transatlantic scale and scope,” President Iohannis said in the opening of the extraordinary meeting of Bucharest 9 Format (B9) in Warsaw.

He welcomed the participation of the US President Joseph Biden in the meeting, showing that it reconfirms the substance of the Bucharest 9 format and the commitment of the US Administration to the security of the Eastern Flank.

”This commitment is very solid and forward-looking: increased US military presence – that needs to continue – and the preparation of a US strategy for the Black Sea. I also welcome the participation of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, for timely and open coordination,” President Iohannis said.
