Also today president Iohannis will meet president of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Paolo Alli.

In his speech before the annual session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Stoltenberg said: “I start by thanking Romania for hosting this meeting and for the numerous and very solid contributions to the Alliance, to our common defence and security. Romania is important from many perspectives – its contribution to the Afghanistan and Kosovo missions, as a host of our ballistic defence system present here and because it wants to spend 2 percent of the GDP for defence. Therefore, Romania wants to safeguard the almost 1 billion NATO citizens,” the NATO official  said.
