Romania’s Foreign Ministry announced it has redirected unused sums of money previously allotted to supporting Afghan security forces to NATO funds designed to assist countries in the region. The total value of these funds stands at 1.4 million USD. Romania thus contributes to consolidating Ukraine’s resilience and defense capacity by earmarking up to 400 thousand USD. Romania will also provide 600 thousand USD to neighboring Moldova and 300 thousand USD to Georgia, another two countries affected by the war in Ukraine. 100 thousand USD will be delivered to consolidating Jordan’s defense. The Government took the decision in line with Romania’s foreign policy and security priorities, designed to increase our country’s standing at NATO level and achieve objectives tied to the consolidation of security and stability on the Alliance’s Eastern Flank, particularly in the Black Sea region.
