Nicusor Dan: Romania will strengthen its defense capabilities

"Romania will strengthen its national security and defense capabilities and will continue to invest in its strategic alliances and partnerships", President Nicusor Dan said in a video message to participants at the 14th edition of the Aspen Forum - GMF on Wednesday.

The country's future defense strategy will reflect the fundamental changes in the global security context, says the head of state.

Nicusor Dan: We are crossing a complex international context, with a high degree of unpredictability and risk. Military and non-military threats are increasingly numerous. The expanded definition of security today also includes economic stability, technological competition, but also the resilience of society and institutions. The nature of war and the definition of peace are also being redefined. The country's future defense strategy will reflect these fundamental changes in the global security context and will express how Romania understands to adapt to new challenges.
