The Strategic Partnership between Romania and the United Kingdom is an active and successful one, and parliamentary dialogue between the two countries must continue and intensify, the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Ludovic Orban, said on Tuesday after meeting with the ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Romania, Andrew Noble, according to AGERPRES.
"It was a pleasure to welcome His Excellency, Andrew Noble, ambassador of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, to Parliament today, whom I had an open dialogue with about cooperation between Romania and the United Kingdom, both from a bilateral and parliamentary perspective," Orban wrote on Facebook.
He noted that the discussions' agenda also included measures taken by both states in the fight against the novel coronavirus, the vaccination campaign and plans to relax the restrictions.
"The Strategic Partnership between Romania and the United Kingdom is an active and successful one and we have had the opportunity to discuss the measures taken by both states in the fight against the novel coronavirus, the vaccination campaign and the plans to relax the pandemic-imposed restrictions. An important aspect of the bilateral relationship is the parliamentary diplomacy, especially in the international context generated by Britain's exit from the European Union. I have conveyed, in this context, that the dialogue between the Romanian Parliament and the British Parliament must continue and intensify for the benefit of both countries," the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies said.
