Defence Minister’s meeting with the American delegation of Aero Precision Association

On Tuesday, April 7, Minister of National Defence, Radu Miruță, had a meeting, at the MoND headquarters, with representatives of the American delegation of Aero Precision Association, made up of the American companies Aero Precision, Arch Precision and Horus Vision Defense, as part of institutional efforts to enhance cooperation in the defence industry field.

During the talks, the officials analyzed the portfolio of military products presented by the Aero Precision Association, as well as the potential for initiating joint projects, with emphasis on the development of domestic production, the know-how transfer and the integration of the national defence industry into global supply chains.

The importance of these types of cooperation was also emphasized in the context in which Romania has been implementing a complex modernization process of its armed forces in order to achieve the objectives undertaken at Allied level, given the commitment to substantially increase the budget allocated to defence in the coming years, as decided at the NATO Summit in The Hague, in 2025.

Minister of National Defence emphasized the importance of collaborating with the United States companies to modernize the armed forces' capabilities, given the increasing degree of production relocation to Romania.

"Partnerships with the American industry can substantially contribute to the development of the national defence industrial base, while also supporting an enhanced Allied interoperability," Radu Miruță said.

The meeting is part of the series of consultations held by the Ministry of National Defence leadership with representatives of industry and international companies interested in initiating collaboration projects in Romania.
