The President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, is participating in the Council of Europe Summit hosted by Reykjavik, Iceland. Held under the motto ‘United around our values / United for Europe’, the fourth edition of the high-level meeting emphasizes the role of the Council of Europe in the current geopolitical context marked by Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The organization responsible for democracy, human rights and the rule of law was among the first international institutions to react with a concrete action, namely by excluding the Russian Federation from among the member states. On Wednesday, on the second day of the summit in Reykjavik, President Klaus Iohannis will reiterate Romania’s commitment to the system of the European Convention on Human Rights and highlight the role that the Council of Europe has played in the 30 years of the country’s membership of the organization in Strasbourg, to the consolidation of a stable and mature democracy. At the end of the summit, a Declaration will be adopted reconfirming the particular role of the Council of Europe in the multilateral architecture at the European and international level.
