The Romanian Foreign Ministry has hailed Romania\u2019s accession to AIIB, considering that it acknowledges the country\u2019s capacity to participate in promoting the objectives of the financial institution aimed at supporting infrastructure and economic development projects. The Foreign Ministry sees Romania\u2019s accession to the AIIB as a continuation of actions meant to promote Romania\u2019s ties with the Asian countries. Romania and the Romanian companies will have the possibility to access the bank\u2019s financial mechanisms in order to diversify cooperation with Asian partners in such domains as energy, urban development, transports, IT and agriculture. The AIIB, which was set up in 2016, is based in Beijing. Other European countries that are bank members are France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Poland.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ransomware attack<\/strong> &#8212; Computers in at least 150 countries, Romania included, have been affected by the recent, unprecedented \u2018ransomware\u2019 attack, according to latest information. Among the almost 200 thousand victims of the attack were many organizations and enterprises such as the British hospitals, the Russian banking system and the French carmaker Renault.
