“In the 20 years of membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Romania has become an important pillar and has consolidated its position within the alliance by respecting its security commitments in the Black Sea area,” Marcel Ciolacu said on his page by Facebook.
“We will continue to be an influential and constructive actor within NATO in order to strengthen and develop our alliance in such a way that collective security guarantees provide Romanians with the stability and security they need for the development of Romania!”, added Ciolacu.
Romania was invited to join the North Atlantic Alliance during the NATO Summit in Prague on November 21, 2002.
On March 29, 2004, Romania officially joined NATO by submitting the instruments of ratification to the US State Department, depository state of the North Atlantic Treaty.
The submission of the instruments of ratification was followed, on April 2, 2004, by the ceremony of the official hoisting of the Romanian flag at the NATO headquarters. Based on a legislative proposal, starting in 2005, “NATO Day in Romania” is celebrated on the first Sunday of April, notes News.ro.
