Türkiye-Romania defence cooperation to boost NATO security

Defence Industries Secretariat head Haluk Görgün has stated that stronger defence cooperation between Türkiye and Romania will enhance joint capabilities and contribute to NATO collective security. He cited the delivery of the CAm. Roman corvette to the Romanian Navy as a reflection of growing strategic ties.
Türkiye's Defence Industries Secretariat head Haluk Görgün stated on Monday that stronger defence industry cooperation between Türkiye and Romania would enhance the two allies' joint capabilities and contribute to NATO's collective security. Görgün hosted Romanian Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Radu Miruță and his delegation at Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ) facilities as part of the 2026 NATO Summit and NATO Defence Industry Forum in Ankara.
Strategic cooperation
"I believe that taking this strong partnership even further will make significant contributions to our joint capabilities and the Alliance's collective security," Görgün said in a post on X. During the visit, the Romanian delegation was briefed on Türkiye's national aerospace projects, production infrastructure, and high‑technology capabilities. "The CAm. Roman Corvette, delivered to the Romanian Navy last June, is a tangible reflection of the level our strategic cooperation between these two NATO Allies has reached," he said.
Deepening ties
Defence industry cooperation between Türkiye and Romania has continued to deepen through concrete projects and deliveries, Görgün added. He thanked Miruță for the visit and the productive discussions, saying Türkiye would continue to strengthen defence industry cooperation with friendly and allied countries through a strategic approach. The visit comes as NATO leaders gather in Ankara for the summit, where defence industrial production and burden‑sharing are expected to be key agenda items. Türkiye has identified Romania as a strategic partner in the Black Sea region, and the two countries have cooperated on naval projects and joint exercises.
