According
\nto a statement from the Romanian ministry of foreign affairs, during the
\nRomanian minister’s trip to the UK, the two officials also discussed, apart
\nfrom aspects connected to the Romanian-British bilateral relationship, about
\nthe latest regional and international developments, with an emphasis on
\nRussia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The renewed strategic partnership
\nprovides for a new framework of cooperation between the two states to reflect
\nthe current stage of relations between the European Union and the United
\nKingdom and the current security situation at Euro-Atlantic level. The document
\nalso follows the strategic nature of bilateral relations, as established twenty
\nyears ago, when the two countries first established a strategic partnership. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Under
\nthe renewed strategic partnership, cooperation will focus on the following key areas:
\nforeign affairs; defence and
\nsecurity; law enforcement, home affairs and cooperation in the area of the
\njudiciary; people-to-people ties; cyber security, technology and hybrid
\nthreats; and the promotion of trade, investments and entrepreneurship. The two
\nministries will meet annually to assess the implementation of the goals
\nestablished as part of the strategic partnership and to explore new
\nopportunities for collaboration. <\/p>\n

Minister Bogdan Aurescu voiced satisfaction with the
\nbilateral cooperation, whose main pillar is collaboration in the area of
\nsecurity. In respect of Russia’s war against Ukraine, the two ministers again
\nfirmly condemned Moscow’s illegal, illegitimate and unprovoked aggression, with
\nconsequences for the security of the entire region, as well as for
\nEuro-Atlantic security, the statement from the Romanian ministry of foreign
\naffairs also notes. The British official voiced appreciation for how Romania
\nshowed its solidarity during the humanitarian crisis in the neighbouring
\ncountry, providing consistent and multidimensional support. Secretary James
\nCleverly thanked, on behalf of the British government, for Romania’s assistance
\nin this regard, which had a substantial contribution to the efforts of the
\ninternational community to support Ukraine cope with the Russian aggression,
