It is very intelligent the way they put together the entire defense system - they call the Department of Defense their ministry and they have a single training center for both practical and theoretical in this huge campus that is more than 150 years old. It was established during the United Kingdom, during Queen Victoria, in the mid-19th century and has benefited from all this continuity and tradition. Their rigor and their perfection as an army comes from hundreds of years of tradition. The number of soldiers is not very large, it is a neutral country, and what they do here is of the highest quality. Both we and the representatives of the Romanian Ministry of National Defense who accompanied us evoked the fact that the Irish have a lot of experience in missions United Nations peacekeeping.
