Bogdan Aurescu, la 15 ani de la acordurile România-SUA pe care le-a negociat: „Documente esențiale pentru politica externă și securitatea României”

Bogdan Aurescu commemorates the 15th anniversary of the Strategic Partnership Declaration and the missile defense agreement between Romania and the USA. These documents, signed on September 13, 2011, during President Traian Băsescu's visit to Washington, are crucial for Romania's security architecture. Aurescu, who was the chief negotiator, highlights the extensive diplomatic process that led to these agreements, which have since strengthened Romania's strategic position within NATO. The Aegis Ashore facility in Deveselu, operational since 2016, exemplifies the tangible outcomes of this partnership. The anniversary occurs in a significantly altered security context, emphasizing the importance of the Eastern Flank and the Black Sea region amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
