Bucharest and Tokyo want to strengthen bilateral ties, which
\non Tuesday will be elevated to the level of strategic partnership. This is the
\npurpose of the three-day official visit paid by Romania’s president, Klaus
\nIohannis, to Japan. On Tuesday, Klaus Iohannis will meet with Japan’s Emperor
\nNaruhito and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, with whom he will sign the Joint
\nDeclaration for the creation of the Strategic Partnership between the two
\nstates. The head of state had announced earlier this year during his
\ntraditional meeting with ambassadors accredited in Romania that relations will
\nJapan will be improved in 2023. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The signing of this document is the result of a
\nlong process of consultations and negotiations, launched five years ago by
\npresident Klaus Iohannis and the late Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe. This
\nwill be Romania’s second strategic partnership with an Asian state after South
\nKorea. The Strategic Partnership will also mark the transition to a superior
\nlevel of capitalizing on bilateral potential, shared values and principles. The
\ndocument will advance Romanian-Japanese cooperation at multiple levels,
\nincluding foreign policy and security cooperation, development assistance,
\ncooperation in the fields of culture, science and technologies, innovation,
\nresearch and development. Japan is Romania’s largest Asian investor. 400
\nbusinesses with Japanese capital operate in Romania, accounting for 40,000
\njobs. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Growth potential is significant, including in fields with a potential for
\ninnovation, such as the development of small modular reactor technologies,
\nproducing and distributing green hydrogen, producing high-power optics,
\nstate-of-the-art infrastructure or finalizing the M6 subway line in Bucharest.
\nFrom this point of view, the Romanian president’s visit to Japan will have a
\nstrong economic component, designed to strengthen ties in terms of investments
\nand technological innovation cooperation, in addition to political dialogue and
\nconsolidating cultural exchanges and person-to-person relations. President
\nKlaus Iohannis previously visited Japan in 2019, when he attended the
\nenthronement of Emperor Naruhito. (VP) <\/p>\n
