Minister of National Defence Gabriel Les, who is currently paying an official visit to the United States of America, on Tuesday told a TV broadcast that Romania is regarded as a very serious partner and no one said anything about corruption in our country, even if at home there is so much talk on this topic.
The Minister underscored the fact that Romania is regarded in the US as a serious partner they can count on, while specifying that the current topics on the agenda back home do more harm.
He also added that corruption wasn't among the topics discussed at the meeting in Bucharest of defence ministers either, while all the officials were impressed instead by how Romania presented itself.
The Minister of Defence on Tuesday participated in Washington in the informal meeting "Current challenges in South-Eastern Europe and fighting challenges coming from Russia in the region," with members of the United States Congress and high officials from South-East European states participating.
