Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos on Thursday night asserted for the private Realitatea TV channel that the main objective of his visit to the United States is the economic cooperation that could be built on the strong bilateral relationship developed over the past years.
The premier explained that during the meetings he will have with American officials - Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz, Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack - and with several businesspeople he intends to present Romania's economic potential.
Prime minister added that his visit will include a visit to the Ford Company, to encourage the continuation of this automaker's investments in Romania.
"In the past months we have unblocked certain issues that were hampering the decision by the Ford Company to continue investments in Craiova. This decision was made, but I think that around this Craiova investment project more investments could be developed with suppliers of the Ford Company coming from the United States, and partnerships with Romanian companies, too," added Ciolos, according to agerpres.ro.
