On today’s UN World Day of Peace, Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner once more reminded: “You don’t get peace and freedom, you have to be able to protect and defend both. The Austrian army has been doing indispensable contributions to peace protection for decades. It is important that it has the necessary resources and good equipment. many years of savings at the army – now rebuilt. The implementation of the “Skyshield” rocket protection screen, the development of protection against drones and the intensive fight against cyber attacks are among the most important measures. We see that the threats increase, in a very difficult situation. It is all the more important to make all efforts to maintain and secure peace.
On the UN World Day of Peace, Tanner also recalled the numerous operations of the Federal Army in UN Pied missions. “Austria has always made a major contribution to securing peace and will continue to do so in the future. Austrian UN soldiers enjoy an excellent reputation worldwide and are highly valued.”
“No effort to achieve and preserve peace is in vain, and if it is so small,” said the Austrian Minister of Defense.
