The president of Romania Klaus Iohannis is carrying on his visit to Brazil. He travelled to Rio de Janeiro, where he had meetings scheduled with the deputy governor and deputy mayor of the city, and is expected to pay tribute to the World War II heroes. On Monday, Mr. Iohannis met with his counterpart Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The two officials signed a joint statement on the development of bilateral relations. Klaus Iohannis assured his counterpart, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, of Romania’s support for advancing the EU – Brazil agenda through projects designed to benefit citizens. This is the first stage of the Romanian president’s south-American tour, which also includes Chile and Argentina. The goal is to rekindle the top-level dialogue with these countries and to present Romania’s position, as an EU and NATO member, with respect to the war launched by Russia in neighbouring Ukraine.
