Welcome back to The Ties that Bind, a project of the Foreign Policy Research Institute that examines how NATO shapes the transatlantic relationship and its role in the global security landscape.

This week, we welcome Oana Lungescu, the longest-serving Principal NATO spokesperson, to the podcast. Our conversation covers her personal experiences in communist Romania, her remarkable career trajectory as a journalist for the BBC, and her decade serving as NATO’s principal spokesperson. We also discuss the role of communications in countering NATO’s evolving challenges.
