The cooperation between Romania and Germany, in the NATO and EU format, in the current security context, was also mentioned, and the immediate priorities at the level of Romanian-German cooperation and coordination were addressed, with an emphasis on the implementation of the fundamental decisions adopted in the context of the NATO Summit in Vilnius, especially as regards the strengthening of the allied deterrence and defense position on the eastern flank, including the Black Sea.
