He expressed confidence that a consensus would be reached regarding the NRRP. He added that he had not nominated a candidate for prime minister because there would be no majority in favour of doing so, and that early elections would prolong the state of uncertainty and bring nothing new. On Tuesday, the head of state attended the military parade in Paris organized on France\u2019s National Day, after participating in the Coalition of the Willing for Ukraine on Monday. Led by the United Kingdom and France, the Coalition consists of more than 35 countries, which have renewed their commitment to continue providing military support and to establish solid security guarantees following the end of the conflict in Ukraine. President Nicu\u0219or Dan reaffirmed that support for Ukraine, at all relevant levels, remains essential for the stability and security of the entire region.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Summit. <\/strong>President Nicu\u0219or Dan will travel to Kyiv on Wednesday to participate in the fifth Ukraine \u2013 Southeast Europe Summit, the Presidential Administration has announced. The visit to Kyiv follows an invitation extended by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Ukraine \u2013 Southeast Europe Summit, established in 2023 in response to Russia\u2019s war of aggression against Ukraine, serves as a regional platform for supporting Ukraine and for jointly addressing the far-reaching consequences of the conflict across the wider region. It brings together countries with shared interests in the fields of security, economic cooperation, energy and infrastructure connectivity, resilience, and the countering of hybrid threats. President Nicu\u0219or Dan\u2019s participation in the Summit once again underscores Romania\u2019s solidarity with Ukraine and its unequivocal support for the country\u2019s independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, the Presidential Administration has stated. During the Summit, President Dan will reaffirm Romania\u2019s commitment to continuing its assistance to Ukraine and to contributing to the strengthening of security and resilience in the Black Sea region and South East Europe. The Summit is also significant in terms of advancing the European aspirations of both Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova. In addition, discussions will focus on regional connectivity, energy security, and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mission. <\/strong>A Romanian Air Force C-27J Spartan aircraft, configured for medical evacuation missions, departed on Tuesday morning from the 90th Airlift Base at Otopeni, near Bucharest, to carry out a humanitarian medical transport mission for a patient with severe burns, operating on the Otopeni\u2013Suceava\u2013Li\u00e8ge route. The mission is being conducted at the request of Romania\u2019s Department for Emergency Situations (DSU) and under the framework of European cooperation mechanisms. Medical assistance and the specialist equipment required throughout the transfer are being provided by a team comprising DSU specialists and medical personnel from the Romanian Ministry of National Defence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Address. <\/strong>US President Donald Trump has announced that he will deliver an address on Thursday evening, AFP reports. The speech comes at a time of escalating tensions between the United States and Iran amid the conflict triggered on 28 February by Israeli-American strikes, which has shaken both the Middle East and the global economy. Writing on Truth Social, President Trump stated that the United States would henceforth act as the \u201cguardian of the Strait of Hormuz\u201d and would impose on vessels transiting the strategically important waterway \u201ca levy equivalent to 20% of the value of their cargo\u201d. However, AFP notes that the Strait is governed by international law, which is intended to guarantee freedom of navigation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Handball. <\/strong>The Romanian teams Corona Bra\u0219ov and SCVM R\u00e2mnicu V\u00e2lcea will face tough opponents in the second qualifying round of the EHF European League women\u2019s handball competition, according to the draw held Tuesday in Vienna. Corona will play against the Serbian champion, ZRK Crvena Zvezda, with the first leg scheduled at home on October 3 or 4, and the second leg in Belgrade on October 10 or 11. Red Star has won the last three Serbian championships. SCM R\u00e2mnicu V\u00e2lcea will face the German team TUSSIES Metzingen, which finished sixth in last season\u2019s Bundesliga. SCM will host the first leg on October 3 or 4, with the return match scheduled in Germany (October 10 or 11). HC Dun\u0103rea Br\u0103ila has qualified directly for the third preliminary round of the competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Government.
