At the entrance to the North Atlantic Council meeting that
will bring together Foreign Affairs ministers today and Wednesday at the Palace
of Parliament, in the Romanian capital, João Gomes Cravinho stressed that
concrete support will be discussed at a meeting at the level of Defense
ministers, but guaranteed that Portugal will reinforce its contribution within
the scope of the “set of support that NATO is offering to Ukraine”.
Asked about concrete measures, Cravinho replied: “I will talk
about it within the meeting”.
Gomes Cravinho began by noting that today's meeting returns
to Bucharest, where in 2008, in a meeting at the level of heads of state,
"a very important summit was held where the policy of open doors was
established".
“This position, this posture, in relation to Ukraine,
Georgia, Moldova remains NATO's open doors, and Portugal has always clearly
supported this position, which is all the more important today when we have a
scenario of Russia's attack on Ukraine ”, he noted.
