The president of Romania Klaus Iohannis said on Tuesday, at the annual meeting with the ambassadors accredited to Bucharest, that Romania will continue to stand by Ukraine. Iohannis emphasised that due to Bucharest’s efforts over 33 million tonnes of Ukrainian grains, accounting for more than 60% of the products carried through the EU’s Solidarity Corridors, transited Romania. Klaus Iohannis added that Romania will stand by Moldova and Ukraine in their negotiations for EU accession, and emphasised that it is crucial for the 2 countries to continue to receive financial support and know-how for the consolidation of their public institutions and economy. As for the situation in the Middle East, he voiced support for a two-state solution, in line both with the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people, and with Israel’s right to security. In this context, president Iohannis mentioned that Romania conducted a „very difficult operation providing assistance and support” to the Romanian citizens in that region. „I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Romanian authorities involved in the evacuation of the Romanian nationals there, as well as to thank our partners in Israel, Egypt, Qatar and Jordan for their support,” Klaus Iohannis added.
