Defence Minister Nicolae Ciuca declared on Tuesday, during a visit to the "Nicolae Balcescu" Land Forces Academy in Sibiu, that this academy is "one of the most modern higher education institutions in Romania", informs a press release sent to AGERPRES.
Minister Ciuca emphasized the importance of the fact that the first visit to the Ministry of Defence units by the members of the defence committees was in a higher education institution "to see what are the values of the system of formation, education and development of military leadership."
"You are now in one of the most modern higher educational institutions in Romania, an institution of great value. As I have assumed since the hearings in the Parliament, we want to ensure for you total transparency of the military institution, of missions, activity and endowment programs," said Minister Nicolae Ciuca.
