Stoltenberg:

[L]et me thank Romania for hosting the meeting.

And also, let me thank you, President Iohannis for your strong personal commitment to our Alliance, to NATO, at this critical time for our security.

You contribute to our shared security in many different ways.

Your troops serve in our battlegroup in Poland.
You contribute to NATO missions in Kosovo and Iraq.
And you also host a key system for NATO’s ballistic missile defence.

I also welcome your strong commitment to maintain defence spending above 2% of GDP.
