Deepening bilateral relations and exploring new directions of cooperation amid the current international context were the topics of talks between Chamber of Deputies' Deputy Speaker Raluca Turcan and Senate Vice President Robert Cazanciuc, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Ralph E. Gonsalves.
The two senior MPs Turcan and Cazanciuc participated on Thursday in an official meeting with the Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Ralph E. Gonsalves, who is on an official visit to Romania.
"Prime Minister Gonsalves' visit is of particular importance, being the first to Romania by a head of government of this country since the establishment of diplomatic relations on May 22, 2003, and at the same time, the first bilateral visit to Romania by a prime minister from the Caribbean region in the last 35 years. The discussions focused on deepening bilateral relations and exploring new directions of cooperation in the current international context. During the meeting, the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines domestic political situation was also approached in the light of the general elections taking place in November 2025, in an important electoral year for Romania as well," Raluca Turcan said in a release.
According to the cited source, special emphasis was placed on economic cooperation.
"Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is classified as an upper-middle-income economy, with tourism as its main economic sector, and agriculture and fishing as important sources of income and employment. The sides discussed opportunities to expand economic and trade cooperation, including by the promotion of Romanian products. Another point of joint interest was the relationship between the European Union and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Prime Minister Gonsalves stressed the importance of EU support in essential areas such as infrastructure, with an emphasis on climate change adaptation and energy transition, transport development and strengthening the health system," the statement adds.
The meeting was also attended by Romania's ambassador to the Republic of Cuba Magdalena Theodora Mircea, who is also accredited to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
