President-elect Klaus Iohannis said Wednesday that 5G technology needs to be approached not only in terms of national security, but also in terms of NATO security.
At the same time, he pointed out that there is openness from NATO to the importance of the Black Sea to the organisation. "There is the NATO Strategy for the Black Sea area and it is still being worked on. And today, we reiterated the importance of the Black Sea region to the whole NATO," Iohannis said.
He added that the approach towards Russia has remained unchanged. "We do not see why we should change this approach now. Surely, some have stressed the need for better communication with Russia, but NATO's approach is exactly the same we have had so far, an approach that consolidates the Eastern Flank; this way, obviously, a feeling of security and NATO security guarantee to its members on the Eastern Flank can be provided," said Iohannis.
