Romania is directly interested in having on its own territory industrial capabilities that can ensure the output of modern military equipment to fit its armed forces in times of peace as well as in developing new equipment to contribute to the multiplication of its military capabilities in situations of crises and war – this is one of the conclusion of the country’s Higher Defence Council, also known as CSAT. Summoned on Thursday by the country’s president, Klaus Iohannis, the CSAT members held talks over the plan of fitting the Romanian armed forces with the right type of equipment and technologies for the following 10 years – 2025-2034 after the major changes in the regional security situation prompted by the Russian aggression in Ukraine.

According to the CSAT members, raising budget funds for defence is also going to have an effect over Romania’s field industry, which has the opportunity of initiating a process of transformation, streamlining and adjustment by attracting new, state-of-the-art technologies as well as cooperation with field companies of international repute.

Against the latest developments in Ukraine, the Council also tackled additional measures of deterring and combating security threats to be implemented at national level with support from NATO allies.

Consolidating the strategic partnership with the Romanian-speaking Republic of Moldova was also high on the agenda. Romania again reiterated its support for the European headway made by the small ex-Soviet republic by assisting it in implementing reforms and the required public policies, without neglecting the challenges Chisinau is presently facing against the background of the hybrid threats mounted by the Russian Federation and the war against Ukraine.

These threats and risks are also having, in most of the cases, implications for Romania. And for this reason, the main objective of Bucharest’s foreign policy, concerning the Republic of Moldova, is supporting and ensuring the irreversibility of its European roadmap on the basis of the bilateral Consolidated Partnership, the Presidential Administration has announced. .

Last, but not least, the CSAT members analyzed and approved the National Plan of Implementing the Civil Pact in the field of Common Security Policy and Defence as a new one had been endorsed at EU level.

The pact is aimed at increasing the flexibility and robustness of the civil missions at community level, as well as their reaction speed in the process of handling crises in spite of limited resources.

According to the Presidential Administration, the document will ease the effectiveness of Romania’s involvement in civil missions in the field of Common Security and Defence Policy, and better capitalize on the Romanian expertise in the field.
