Diplomacy

Romania wishes to be part of the dialogue and the solutions related to Ukraine’s reconstruction, said prime minister Nicolae Ciucă at the opening of the annual meeting of the Romanian diplomatic service held in Bucharest. „We are fully ready to take an active part in this process. The way in which we have assisted the victims of the war waged on Ukraine’s territory says something about our humaneness and sense of responsibility”, he said. He believes „Romania must coordinate even better with its partners with whom it shares the same values and goals” and to give more dynamism to the community of democracies not only in Europe, but also in Asia, Africa and Latin America. The prime minister also emphasised that Romania will continue to firmly support the European choice of partners such as the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine, Georgia and the countries in the Western Balkans. The annual meeting of the Romanian diplomatic service, whose topic this year is the response to the changing geostrategic situation, is taking place until 8th September in hybrid format. The heads of Romania’s diplomatic missions and consular offices abroad are attending online, while the foreign ministers of Poland and Portugal, Zbigniew Rau and Joao Gomes Cravinho, respectively, are attending in person.
