On 5-6 November the NATO-Industry Forum was held in the capital of Romania. During this event, the head of the North Atlantic Alliance pointed out the request to importantly strengthen the defence manufacture in Europe. "There is no strong defence without a strong defence industry," said Mark Rutte, who referred to the provisions of the last NATO summit held in The Hague in June. "You know the decisions we made in The Hague. Political will is present, there is money, there is request - our safety depends on it" - he added, noting the request to sign long-term government contracts.
