I am delighted to be visiting Bucharest for the first time since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. I'd like to thank President @KlausIohannis and his team, as well as all Romanians, for their genuine support for Ukraine and Ukrainians through this violent and tough period.

Glad to sign together with President @ZelenskyyUa a Joint Declaration, to start working towards elevating RO-UA relations to the level of #StrategicPartnership based on principles of good neighbourliness, shared democratic values & respect for international law.

Thank you, 🇷🇴 State Secretary Cojocaru and Admiral Panait for an in-depth discussion on how to strengthen @NATO, improve our defense and deterrence, and help 🇺🇦 defeat aggression. Glad to note that 🇪🇪 and 🇷🇴 are likeminded and well coordinated! #StrongerTogether

Following recent @NATO decision, #Romania will send an additional contingent at company level to @NATO_KFOR. Our forces will further contribute to a safe & secure environment in the Western Balkans. The #BlackSea & Western Balkans are of strategic importance, so we need to keep a strong focus on these regions in #NATO!
