He said that the threats from Moscow are comparable to those from countries like Iran, China, and North Korea. But, according to him, Russia has the greatest potential in the military field.

He added that to counter the dangers from Russia, it is necessary to strengthen the partnership with NATO, because Russia tends to constantly enhance its military and information technology capabilities. He further stated that it is essential to compete with Russia in this area.
