Romania is a pillar of stability in the region, due to its membership in the North Atlantic Alliance, and NATO Day is celebrated in our country under the sign of Euro-Atlantic solidarity, through constant support to member countries for limiting the spread of the new coronavirus, said the Chamber of Deputies' Speaker Ludovic Orban.

"Today, on the first Sunday of April, we celebrate NATO Day in Romania, to mark two important events in Romania's history, namely Romania's accession to the North Atlantic Alliance on March 29, 2004 and the official hoisting of the Romanian flag at NATO in Brussels, on April 2, 2004.

"Romania is a pillar of stability in the region, due to its membership in NATO, by participating in Allied missions, especially in the Black Sea region and hosting, on its territory, the multinational structures of the Alliance. It is a commitment that our country has made, within this Security structure, for the defence of the citizens of the region. We continue to be reliable allies of NATO", Ludovic Orban also transmitted.
