Minister Mucunski: ‘We will Always Be in Line with US Foreign Policy’

During his visit to the US and in the frames of the 79th session of the United Nations (UNGA 79), Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Minister Timco Mucunski, joined Newsmax with US diplomat Richard Grenell, former Acting Director of National Intelligence in then-President Donald Trump’s Cabinet in 2020, to discuss several topics.

Regarding the current geopolitical context and North Macedonia’s perspective on global events, Mucunski underlined the importance of investing at least 2% of the GDP in defence, saying it was not a proactive method, but rather funds intended for defence, which was a key aspect in NATO policy.

When it comes to Skopje-Washington relations, the Minister stated that both sides had excellent relations, based on a strategic partnership.

“We will always be in line with US foreign policy because we think that us foreign policy is the right foreign policy for providing peace in the world and for upkeeping global political order,” he stressed.
