Romania is deeply anchored in a Euro-Atlantic system of values, security and unwavering solidarity, as a result, among other things, of decades of diplomatic work, the Romanian foreign minister Bogdan Aurescu stated today, on the celebration of 160 years since the Foreign Ministry was established. He reviewed the history of the institution, mentioning the outstanding personalities in Romanian diplomacy, and highlighted the current challenges. ‘When, for the first time since 1945, the threat of a brutal, unjustified and unprovoked war launched by Russia against our neighbour Ukraine looms over Europe, the implications can only be of global scale. (…) Together with our allies and partners, we are deeply committed to outlining a complex diplomatic response to this aggression that has tragic humanitarian consequences and incalculable economic costs,’ foreign minister Bogdan Aurescu said.
