“The budget drafted by the Government of Romania had received prior approval by the Parliament and the defense authorization provisions have been unanimously supported by all political parties,” the statement from the embassy read.
“This sets a new milestone in Romania’s NATO membership and reconfirms Romania’s unwavering commitment to transatlantic security.”
