President Klaus Iohannis emphasized on Monday that the missile shield has only a defensive role.
Asked to what extent Romania is discussing with Russia, he replied: "We are discussing all these issues in the formats we are part of because that is correct."
The head of state also stressed that Romania's interest is to have a very strong allied presence on its territory.
"You have certainly seen that we are working very well with the United States and any strengthening of this presence is welcome for us, but strengthening NATO as a whole is extremely good news for Romania and for Romanians because in this way Romania's security and of each Romanian is guaranteed," said President Iohannis.
