I would like to begin by expressing my appreciation to the organisers for inviting me to Allies in Ankara, held alongside the NATO Summit. This is an important event, and we are following the discussions and their outcomes very closely, as they will definitely have an impact on Euro-Atlantic security. The Black Sea region is an integral part of that, and we are therefore following these discussions very closely.

First of all, when discussing security, it is essential to consider the challenges we currently face. When referring to European security, we should not draw a distinction between European Union member states and the countries that are outside of the European Union, as we share common needs and common interests.
