He was also instrumental in deepening NATO’s partnerships, “helping to take our cooperation with the EU to unprecedented levels, and enhancing our work with other partners around the world,” said the Secretary General at the medal ceremony. The Secretary General thanked Mr Geoana for being “a leading advocate for NATO, engaging – and connecting – with audiences from all walks of life, promoting our shared values and explaining how we defend them every day.” Mr Geoana expressed his gratitude to NATO staff: “I want to thank you for what you represent. I want to thank you for the privilege of working and helping me in everything we did.” Reflecting on his time in office, Mr Geoana said “these five years, I can say have been probably the most transformative years in the 75 year history of our great Alliance.” He concluded with words of encouragement, advising the staff to: “continue to believe in this organization, continue to believe in what we represent, what we stand for.” Mr Geoana, a former foreign minister for Romania, became NATO Deputy Secretary General in October 2019.
