In his message on Europe Day, Romania’s President, Klaus Iohannis stressed that in 2023, the celebration was marked by profound changes at global level. The consequences of the war waged by the Russian Federation against Ukraine have multiplied, and the principles, values and multilateral system that have been the foundation of peace after the Second World War are under threat, while at global level we see a tendency of fragmentation and geopolitical resettlement, Klaus Iohannis said in his message. In this global context, with so many challenges, Europe, a symbol of the values of peace, freedom, democracy, and human rights, has an even more important role today. Defending these values is a responsibility that will shape the world in which the future generations will grow. Romania, Klaus Iohannis, also said, is an active part of the European efforts and initiatives to implement common strategic priorities, for the benefit of our citizens. Unity and solidarity remain our main asset, and the last years have been clear proof that we are stronger only united and in solidarity, Klaus Iohannis concluded.
