Romania wants to become a part of CPEC

As Pakistan works on the CPEC maga project, Romania has shown interest in becoming a part of this project which is expected to change things for Pakistan as well as the entire region.

Romania’s Ambassador to Pakistan Nicolae Goia said, “We are trying to understand how Romania can be part of it”. Goia also stated that Romania was among the fastest growing economies in the European Union for 2 consecutive years and is the 7th largest market in EU. In addition, he also expressed that they have longstanding cooperation in political, economic, cultural and scientific fields with bilateral trade valued at almost $100 million a year (pointing to bilateral relations between Pakistan and Romania).

Both Pakistan and Romania  had an “extremely dynamic political dialogue” that was “result-oriented” and grounded in “pragmatism”, he expressed. Besides, he said that promoting trade and economic relations, and defence ties, were high on his priorities.

Pakistan and Romania were negotiating an agreement on defence industries, he revealed.

“Contrary to common perception, Pakistan’s environment is extremely friendly and the people are competent and amicable. Pakistan is also a responsible member of the international community”.
