The Supreme Council for National Defence (CSAT) is convening today at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace under the leadership of President Klaus Iohannis.
Iohannis said a month ago that drug-taking among young people - which he considers an alarming phenomenon - will feature on the agenda of the CSAT meeting.
"It is a problem that concerns our society increasingly more, and I am glad that there is an increased interest in trying to find solutions to combat this scourge. I decided to include it on the agenda of the next meeting of the Supreme Council for National Defence on this subject. The effects, the extent, the societal challenges of drug-taking, especially from a young age and in schools, are a serious challenge to individual and national security," Iohannis told an opening of the 2023-2024 school year.
He emphasised the importance of preventive and responsible behaviours: "It is crucial that the younger generations understand from an early age the dangers and dramatic consequences of drug, alcohol and tobacco taking."
The previous CSAT meeting took place on July 6.
