“Faith, Freedom, and Friendship” – Celebrating 20 Years of Romania’s NATO Membership

Dr. Paul de Souza and Dr. Christine de Souza





🇷🇴🇺🇸”Faith, Freedom, and Friendship” – Celebrating 20 Years of Romania’s NATO Membership! The event was more than a commemoration; it was a powerful affirmation of Romania’s dedication to democracy, peace, and stability. Romania’s accession to NATO two decades ago was a defining step that strengthened the alliance and solidified our collective defense and strategic partnerships. Dr. Christine de Souza and I were impressed by the fantastic music and inspirational words! 

🇷🇴That evening was a mixture of reflection and celebration, filled with splendid music within the walls of the historic Mellon Auditorium, a place that resonates with historical significance. I congratulate Romania for its two decades of NATO membership and applaud the efforts of those who have worked diligently to reinforce the ties between our nations.

I would like to give a very special thanks to Ovidiu-Adrian Tudorache, Ambassador of Romania to the US Andrei Muraru, Nato Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoana, and our CSFI Senior Fellows from Romania, Silvia USCOV and Madalin Dumitru 🛡️🎖️. I would also like to recognize Daria-Romana Pop and Justina-Alexandra Sava. Cyber Security Forum Initiative#CSFI – Honoring this special anniversary was a call to reaffirm our dedication to the values that bind us and to look to the future with optimism for a continued partnership and collective success.🎖️
