VISIT

The president of Romania Klaus Iohannis had a meeting in Athens on Friday with his Greek counterpart, Katerina Sakellaropoulou, who reiterated Greece’s full support for Romania’s Schengen accession. The two officials praised the very good relations between the two countries, strengthened by cultural affinities and by a long common history, and emphasized the close cooperation at EU, regional and international level. Given the current security situation generated by Russia’s illegal military aggression against Ukraine, they emphasized the importance of maintaining trans-Atlantic unity and solidarity and reiterated the support that their respective countries will continue to give to Ukraine and to Ukrainian refugees, as well as to the R. of Moldova. The Romanian president is in Greece for a 2-day official visit.
