British officials underline Romania's potential to attract direct investment in the defense industry, not just foreign orders.

At the 'UK-Romania Defense Industry Day' event, British officials highlighted the importance of industrial collaboration between UK and Romanian companies. Ambassador Giles Portman noted that Romania is a 'critical partner' in the British defense strategy. British companies, such as Plexus Romania, are investing in the defense sector with the potential to create jobs and contribute to economic resilience. Recent agreements allow access to European tenders, provided local added value is generated.
