This commitment reflects Romania's strategic position and the importance it grants to Euro-Atlantic security. During the meeting, Angel Tilvar also highlighted the importance of achieving a lasting peace in Ukraine, which could contribute to the security and continued European path of the Republic of Moldova.Ensuring maritime security and freedom of navigation are essential elements of any future peace agreement.
