The annual parade - which included troops from NATO allies - was held at the Arch of Triumph in central Budapest and saw thousands of soldiers marching with dozens of combat jets and helicopters flying overhead. Friday’s ceremony celebrated the 105th anniversary of the Great Union Day of 1918, when Romania was formed after its unification with the neighbouring regions of Transylvania, Bessarabia and Bukovina. Romania’s President Klaus Iohannis attended the event along with Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu and the President of the European Union country senate, Nicolae Ciuca. The U.S. Department of State congratulated Romania in a statement on Friday saying that Romania’s “leadership within the NATO Alliance strengthens our collective security, especially in the Black Sea region.” Since Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine, Romania has played an increasingly prominent role in the alliance including hosting a NATO meeting of foreign ministers in November 2022. In December, Romania inaugurated an international training hub for F-16 jet pilots from NATO countries and other partners, including war-torn Ukraine.
