Farsightedness of NATO clear after 75 years -Mattarella

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 3 - The centrality NATO currently has, following international events including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, shows the farsightedness of the agreement that created the alliance 75 years ago, President Sergio Mattarella said on Wednesday.
    "The current international situation, dramatically marked by the re-emergence of drives towards war and threats to security, makes it fitting to reflect on today's anniversary," the head of State said.
    "Indeed, 75 years ago a group of countries concluded the North Atlantic Treaty.
    "It was a real turning point, dictated by the determination to make peace secure, to create a space for cooperation and mutual assistance, to protect the irrepressible right to individual and collective self-defense.
    "Today, with the return of war to the European continent, the farsightedness of that choice can be fully understood". (ANSA).
