The US Ambassador to Bucharest this week traveled to Cluj-Napoca and the surrounding areas. Her visit was meant to reaffirm the extent of U.S. engagement with Cluj County.

On the sidelines of her visit, Ambassador Kavalec met with Cluj Mayor Emil Boc, visited the iLab business incubator of the Babeș-Bolyai University and met with students, guests and employees of the American Corner in Cluj-Napoca. The US ambassador also launched the "We The People" photographic exhibit celebrating over 25 years of the U.S.-Romania Strategic Partnership at the Museum of Art at Banffy Palace.

In an interview to our colleague András Papp-Zako from Radio Romania Cluj-Napoca, Ambassador Kavalec described relations with Romania in the context of Russia's ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine.
