Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel announced on Tuesday that he will pay a visit to Romania this year. "The economy minister will pay an economic visit, with an extended delegation, to Romania, but I will also pay a visit this year to discuss with Romanian authorities and for initial contacts with the business community in Romania, to see how we can work more intensely," the prime minister said in a joint press conference with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis.
He informed that the discussions with the Romanian head of state addressed the preparation of the next European Council, Brexit, the migration crisis, the relations with Russia and the preparation of the NATO Summit in Warsaw.
"We have agreed to deepen our cultural relations. As you know, Mr President was the mayor of Sibiu. We have a special relationship, we [Luxembourg and Sibiu] were [European] cultural capitals," said Bettel.
President Iohannis announced that a Luxembourg economic mission, led most likely by Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg and Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel, will come to Romania this year.
