The matches are to take place over September 12 – 13 or 13 \u2013 14. Romania conceded a 3-1 defeat to Bulgaria in Craiova, southern Romania, in the World Group One\u2019s play-offs held in late January early February. In Group Two, El Salvador outperformed the Republic of Moldova 3-2 on their own turf in Santa Tecla.

Worth mentioning is that the singles ranking doesn\u2019t include any Salvadorian player.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UKRAINE\u00a0<\/strong>Ilie Bolojan, the interim president of Romania, stated after Wednesday\u2019s informal meeting in Paris that Ukraine\u2019s security is directly linked to the security of Europe and of Romania, reaffirming the importance of the collaboration between the European states and the United States to achieve a just and lasting peace. \u201cA fair peace cannot be achieved without the participation of Ukraine and the European Union in the negotiations,\u201d Ilie Bolojan also stated. Before the meeting, which was also attended by leaders from Norway, Canada, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, the Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Sweden and Belgium, the interim president of Romania had talks with the president of France, Emmanuel Macron. \u201cWe have ensured once again that, just as France has been by Romania\u2019s side in the very important moments of our country\u2019s history, it stands by our side today. We have reconfirmed the strategic partnership with France,\u201d said President Bolojan. He also added, \u201cwe have reconfirmed the stability of the French military presence in Romania. At the request of our country, this presence will be strengthened in the coming period.\u201d Bucharest and Paris will also continue their economic cooperation, including in the defense industry, with the development of production capacities in Romania being taken into account for the coming years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TALKS<\/strong>\u00a0Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu has said, regarding the peace negotiations in Ukraine, that the momentary harsh statements made by the world leaders are not important, what is important is a just and lasting peace in that country, which can only be achieved with the help of the US. He stressed that peace will bring lower energy and gas prices and an economic recovery throughout Europe. It is then vital to participate in the reconstruction of Ukraine, it is a project of over 500 billion euros, from which Romanian companies must gain as much as possible, Ciolacu added. He announced, on the other hand, that during the working visit he will make to Brussels on Friday, he will meet with the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. The discussions will focus, among other things, on aspects related to the renegotiation of the NRRP as well as the security situation in the current international context. The Head of the Executive specified that he will be accompanied to Brussels by the Minister of Investments and European Projects, Marcel Bolo\u015f, and the Minister of Finance, Tanczos Barna.<\/p>\n
