Joi dupa amiaza a avut loc o reuniune a Consiliului Nord Atlantic al NATO la nivelul ministrilor de externe, dedicata crizei #coronavirus in principal. Dupa reuniunea ce a avut loc online, Secretarul General NATO Jens Stoltenberg a sustinut o conferinta de presa. Am reusit sa-i pun o intrebare liderului NATO despre modelul Armatei Romane si extinderea capacitatii aliate impotriva #coronavirus, din studioul emisiunii Punctul de intalnire de la Antena 3.
Iata dialogul :
Oana Lungescu, purtatorul de cuvant al NATO : Mergem acum la Bucuresti, Radu Tudor, Antena 3
Secretarul General NATO, Jens Stoltenberg :
“Mai intai salut ceea ce Romania face acum.
Aceasta arata ca Romania, ca toti Aliatii, mobilizeaza acum fortele pentru a sprijini eforturile civile pentru combaterea Coronavirus.
Si NATO sprijina aceste eforuri, EADRCC (Centrul Euro-Altantic de Coordonare si Raspuns la Dezastre) este un instrument important in mobilizarea resurselor aliatilor si pentru a ne asigura ca aliatii care au nevoie de aceste resurse suplimentare le primesc.Romania a utilizat programul aliat pentru tranport aerian strategic pentru transportul unei cantitati importante de echipamente din China si din Coreea de Sud catre Romania, si acesta este doar un exemplu despre cat de importante sunt capabilitatile noastre de transport aerian in sustinerea aliatilor in gestionarea acestei crize.
Deci rolul NATO este de a sprijini, coordona, mobiliza, aceste eforturi si din acest motiv am decis organizarea unei reuniuni a ministrilor apararii peste cateva saptamani, pentru a ne asigura ca putem trage o concluzie referitoare la eforturile NATO, ca vom asculta mesajul SACEUR care ne va prezenta activitatea structurilor militare in sprijinul aliatilor, si sa avem astfel o platforma pentru intalnirea minstrilor apararii de peste cateva saptamani pentru a lua decizii in continuare.
Declaration by NATO Foreign Ministers
issued following their meeting of 2nd April 2020
- We, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of NATO, meet today in the midst of an unprecedented pandemic which is affecting all Allies and partners, imposing a huge cost in lives lost, as well as a sudden and severe shock to our economies. We express our deepest sympathies with all the victims of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and with all those affected by its consequences. We pay tribute to the health care workers, as well as all the others who are on the front line in our battle against this disease. These include the men and women in uniform who continue to work daily for our collective security. And we thank our citizens who understand that, working together, we will defeat this challenge more quickly and save lives.
- NATO is doing its part. Allies are supporting each other – including with medical professionals, hospital beds, vital medical equipment, and best practices and ideas on how to fight this deadly disease. We are airlifting critical medical supplies from across the globe, providing medical personnel, essential materials, and vital equipment from military and civilian sources, and harnessing our medical, scientific, and technological knowledge and resources to help deliver innovative responses. Allies are also working together to ensure public access to transparent, timely, and accurate information, which is critical to overcoming this pandemic and to combating disinformation. Because we need a coordinated and comprehensive approach, NATO is working closely with other international organizations, including the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and the European Union.
- Even as we do the absolute maximum to contain and then overcome this challenge, NATO remains active, focused and ready to perform its core tasks: collective defence, crisis management, and cooperative security. Our ability to conduct our operations and assure deterrence and defence against all the threats we face is unimpaired. And we have today taken further decisions to enhance NATO’s role in facing current and future security challenges.
- We welcome North Macedonia as NATO’s 30th Ally. As we face this unprecedented challenge, our 30 nations stand together in solidarity and transatlantic unity.
