Excellent meeting with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, @NikolPashinyan, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly. The main topic of discussion was our excellent bilateral relations, founded on shared values ​​and a long-standing friendship, and strengthened by the significant cultural and economic contribution of the Armenian community in Romania. As we celebrate 35 years of diplomatic relations between our countries, I am confident that our relations will continue to grow stronger, particularly with the upcoming signing of a strategic partnership. I also presented the candidacy of Mr. Dacian Cioloș, former Prime Minister of Romania and former European Commissioner for Agriculture, for the position of Secretary General of the Francophonie – a strong and credible candidate.

The first new bridge to be built between Romania and Moldova in 60 years. The roads that unite are the most concrete form of friendship and neighborliness. Today, at the Victoria Palace, I participated in the signing of the agreement between the Government of Romania and the Government of the Republic of Moldova and the contract for section 4 of the A8 Motorway, the Iași - Ungheni segment, which includes the first kilometers of highway on the territory of the Republic of Moldova, built through a joint project of the two governments. The alert pace of work of my colleagues from the Ministry of Transport was incredible, I congratulate them for that. Beyond kilometers of asphalt and bridges, this project says something essential: the European path of the Republic of Moldova is no longer just a political statement. It is a highway between brothers with assured European funding, it is a strategic corridor that connects the European Union to its eastern neighborhood exactly at the moment when these connections matter the most, and for Romania's economic growth, border transit, easy access and for tourist purposes to Iași. Funding through the European SAFE instrument clearly shows that security and connectivity go together and connecting with neighboring countries was also the stake that allowed the financing of highway sections in Romania through this instrument. Congratulations to the team that brought the project to this point, to Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, Deputy Prime Minister Radu Miruță and colleagues from Transport, as well as to our partners in Chișinău represented by Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Bolea and the team of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development. In 2030, there will be a highway from Bucharest to Ungheni. @Bolojan @RaduMiruta

For the first time in the history of the OIF, candidates for the position of Secretary General are being interviewed by the ministers of the full member states and governments, a real step forward for the transparency of our organization. I am representing Romania, proud to support the candidacy of Dacian Cioloș. Four candidates are in the running: Coumba Ba (Mauritania), Dacian Cioloș (Romania), Juliana Lumumba (DR Congo), and Louise Mushikiwabo (Rwanda). To all of you, I wish you interviews that reflect our shared values ​​and a competition conducted in the best spirit of fair play that unites the Francophone family. Good luck!
