Minister of National Defence Angel Tilvar met on Wednesday with the ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Bucharest, Andrew Noble, and the discussions included the security situation in the Black Sea region, in the context of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine.
The two also discussed cooperation within the North Atlantic Alliance in view of the forthcoming NATO Summit in Vilnius and current and future issues related to cooperation between the two armed forces, with a focus on the development of the defence industry, a press release of the Ministry of National Defence (MApN) reads.
On this occasion, Angel Tilvar stressed the importance of ensuring security in the Black Sea region in the context of Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine and the strategic importance of the Black Sea as a key region for European and Euro-Atlantic security. The UK's contribution to strengthening the Allied posture on the Eastern flank, particularly in the Black Sea region, was also deemed as concrete proof of Allied solidarity and unity.AGERPRES
