Minister of National Defence, Ioan Mircea Pascu and General Mihail Popescu, chief of the Romanian General Staff met Tuesday, June 15, 04 and had talks with Admiral Edmund Giambastiani, Supreme Commander of NATO Transformation Command in visit in our country due to the participation to the Annual Conference of PfP Consortium of the Defence Academies and Institutes of Studies of Security.
During the meeting, the guest was informed on the stage of the reform of the Romanian Armed Forces and the medium and long term objectives by which our military structures could entirely become interoperable with those of the Alliance.
Admiral Giambastiani appreciated the efforts the Romanian Armed Forces made for restructuring and modernizing and assured the MoND leadership with the support for their carrying on.
The establishment of the Romanian Military Representance at NATO Transformation Command in Norfolk, Virginia represents a direct link for the increase of cooperation and synchronization of the processes of transformation within the North Atlantic Alliance and the Romanian Armed Forces.
NATO’s official was also received by the President of Romania, Mr. Ion Iliescu and the Romanian Prime Minister, Mr. Adrian Nastase.
