NATO Summit Bucharest 2008

The North – Atlantic Alliance Summit is the most important political event of the year, which will draw the attention of the entire world upon Romania. Moreover, it is the most important event ever to be organized in Romania. Approximately 3,000 delegates – the most powerful people on earth, Heads of State and Government and ministers – shall analyse a very busy political agenda, during a 3 –day marathon discussion. In this section, you will have full access to the official documents of the Summit and to the speeches during the reunion. The place to host the Summit, the Palace of the Parliament, was selected by the organizers in order to ensure the best conditions for the reunion. Other events of public diplomacy will take place around the Summit period.


“This Summit targets to find solutions for Afghanistan, enlargement projects, member states security, Black Sea security and energy problem. There must be significant progresses compared to the Riga Summit. Beyond enlargement, this Summit takes into consideration bringing closer to NATO states, such as: Serbia, Bosnia- Herzegovina and Montenegro. ” (Traian Basescu, President of Romania).


I expect that during this Summit, the heads of state and government shall discuss issues related to a series of challenges and threats which belong to the XXI century, such as IT system security or energy security”. (NATO Secretary General, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer)
