"It is one of the fundamental objectives of Romania for the NATO Summit in Wales and is a point of view that has been established with all state institutions, namely Romania's desire to have a permanent NATO military presence on our territory", Ponta said.
"This is important because if the decision is made, and I hope it will be, its implementation will be carried out over next year or in two years. This year’s NATO Summit will be attended by Mr. Basescu, who will no longer be president, and I wanted to show the clear support of the Government and of the Romanian authorities which will lead the country next year for this strategic project for Romania ", the Premier added, Agerpres reports.
