President of Romania Nicusor Dan met with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Thursday in Dublin, on the sidelines of the ninth meeting of the European Political Community. The bilateral meeting lasted approximately 40 minutes, and the discussions focused on major issues for the European Union and regional security.

Topics addressed included the European Union’s multiannual budget, the situation in the Republic of Moldova and defence. The meeting represents a new high-level contact between Romania and Germany, amid a European context marked by concerns about security, competitiveness and resilience.

Nicusor Dan is attending the European Political Community summit on Thursday, hosted by Ireland in Dublin. The meeting is themed “Europe: Strong, Safe, Connected” and brings together leaders from across Europe for discussions on the main challenges facing the continent. According to the Presidential Administration, the summit’s agenda includes issues related to security, competitiveness and strengthening European resilience.

Context: Înainte de întâlnirea de la Dublin, Nicușor Dan și Friedrich Merz au discutat securitatea NATO și parcursul european al Republicii Moldova

Anterior, președintele român s-a întâlnit cu cancelarul german Friedrich Merz la Rovaniemi, în marja Summitului European al Arcticii, unde au abordat securitatea flancului estic al NATO, incursiunile dronelor în spațiul aerian al statelor aliate și cooperarea industrială româno-germană în domeniul apărării. În același cadru, cei doi au discutat și despre viitorul buget al UE și despre parcursul european al Republicii Moldova, România pledând pentru deschiderea în timp util a capitolelor de negociere.

Tot înainte, Dan și Merz au avut și un mesaj comun după atacurile cu drone în Europa, avertizând asupra intensificării atacurilor hibride și a necesității unui răspuns comun, inclusiv prin schimb de informații și consolidarea capacităților cibernetice și informaționale.
